*When reality & dreams go to war, love is the greatest weapon of all.
Grab some popcorn and take a seat...the curtain is about to rise on a film like no other! Welcome to Giraffes on Horseback Salad, a never-made Marx Brothers film written by modern art icon Salvador Dali. Thought lost forever, this mislaid masterpiece has finally arrived - re-created as a graphic novel based on the original script and Dali's own notes and sketches.
In this fantastical and unforgettable tale, a businessman named Jimmy finds himself drawn to the mysterious Surrealist Woman, a figure whose very presence transforms reality. With the chaotic help of the Marx Brothers, Jimmy tries to join her bizarre world, but forces of normalcy seek to end their unusual romance. Newly scripted Marx Brothers-style antics and songs meld with Salvador Dali's dreamlike world to create a cinematic love story that defies logic and dazzles the eye.
The lushly illustrated graphic novel, adapted by writer Josh Frank with Tim Heidecker (Tim and Eric), is accompanied by notes and images that reveal the true history of the Dali/ Marx Brothers film project and relate Frank's discovery of Dali's lost script and sketchbooks. The result is a must-read for fans of Dali or the Marx Brothers (or both!), an unexpected pairing that is sure to amaze and delight. *Source: Back Cover
