The Desert Peach

    (MU, 1988-2001)
™ and ©1992 Donna Barr
B&W

The gravedigging unit attached to General Erwin “the Desert Fox” Rommel’s division is filled with the oddest misfits the German army can provide: a lost soul who believes he must take care of a pet land mine; a Nazi-phile who never joined the party because it was “too expensive”; and a Jew that joined the Nazi party in its early stages as camouflage (and for the free drinks) but practices none of its policies. Commander of them all is Pfirsich Rommel, the Desert Peach. Although a Nazi, Pfirsich is a decidedly decent human being. He is also a homosexual. This title follows the oddball antics of this military unit and their gentle leader as they try to survive the war and keep it as humane as possible.

Donna Barr has the ability to tickle your funny bone and touch your heart with her wonderful stories and beautiful, expressive drawing. She is also known for her work on The Dreamery and Stinz.
