Yeast Hoist: Does Music Make You Cry?

Ron Rege Jr.'s follow-up to the critically acclaimed, Skibber Bee-Bye, Yeast Hoist uses a more traditional short story structure to tell the tale of a young man's trip to Europe with a popular underground rock band and his subsequent journey to Italy. In some ways, Yeast Hoist (subtitled "Does Music Make You Cry?") is a throw back to Ron's early work--a straighter narrative about a trip to Europe and friendship (Dum-Dum Posse Reader) and an endpiece with Ron's earliest collaborator, his friend Andy Bernick (Andy Remembers.) How does the bass player cope each night on tour? Ron and Andy tell you in the mini-comics insert "Where I Slept."
