What does the fairy do with my old teeth? Are mermaids warm or cold-blooded? How do seraphim reproduce? What does a unicorn want with a virgin in the first place? Milk-teeth responds to the questions that gnawed away your ability to believe in anything with (mostly) wordless vignettes and technical diagrams. Milk-teeth has garnered praise as the first comic in history to address magical animals without sarcasm or preciousness. The art is lush yet distant and restrained, and is beautifully reproduced in full color.
