Anmärkning: Innehållsbeskrivning, sammanfattning The world of Rickheit's graphic novel is a deranged cabinet of curiosities, full of biomechanical tanks, writhing organic matter, amorphous monsters birthing adorable kittens, men and women in animal masks, and countless tubes, gas masks, sex toys, and pseudo-Victorian apocalyptic landscapes. In one vignette, an apelike prince named Jeffrey terrorizes his servants and executes his subjects in graphic detail. Rickheit undermines all of this horrible detail in the last frame with the hilariously blasé caption, "Isn't it obvious?" This juxtaposition of dry humor undercuts the richly drawn horror of Folly, simultaneously adding to its strangeness and making it bearable for a casual read.

Lovers of art comics will know Hans Rickheit from his smashing graphic novel The Squirrel Machine but Rickheit has, for over a decade, been producing his own self-published comics - reaching into the deepest cupboards of the back mind and culling these strange artefacts. Originally distributed as pamphlets, these underground 'comix' can be construed as the subterranean ruins of the psyche. Finally, these scattered elements have been compiled into a compact, lushly illustrated bedside reader. Surreal, mind-bending concepts and beautiful images.
