Auch Sympathieträger haben Depressionen. Andy Riley hat genau hingeschaut und enthüllt mit schockierender Offenheit, wie sich unsere langohrigen Kuscheltiere vom Acker machen. Für immer. Sie sind Hasen, sie sind flauschig, und sie haben nur eins im Sinn: sich umzubringen. Sie meucheln sich mit dem Hackebeil, sie werfen sich im passenden Augenblick unter die Stilettos schöner Frauen, sie verstecken sich im Barbecue. Fest steht: Keiner stirbt so kreativ wie Häschen, und das Schönste ist, dass wir ihnen dabei zusehen dürfen. Denn das ist nicht triefend traurig, sondern zum Kreischen komisch.

Un gioiellino di umorismo surreale e politicamente scorretto. Vignette e strisce di coniglietti piccoli, morbidi e teneri che semplicemente non hanno più voglia di vivere. E che si inventano i suicidi più bizzarri, assurdi e divertenti che si possano immaginare: il coniglietto suicida ha lo sprezzo del pericolo e prende il sole mentre gli altri animali salgono sull'Arca di Noè o accoglie gli extraterrestri con un calcio nei testicoli. Ha grandi capacità mimetiche, e si confonde fra i militari dello sbarco in Normandia o fra gli alieni di Space Invaders. Hanno ingegno da vendere e pazienza. Creativi e determinati come Willy il Coyote, ma più imperturbabili e sicuri di sé, i coniglietti affrontano il suicidio con un'espressione impassibile e sempre uguale che esalta la comicità surreale di ogni pagina del libretto.
