      A fictional and complex portrait of bestselling author Patricia Highsmith, this narrative serves as both a tribute to the essential lesbian novel, "The Price of Salt," and an exploration of its controversial creator. Veteran comics creators Grace Ellis and Hannah Templer present the story through Highsmith's perspective, reimagining the events that inspired her foundational work in queer literature. The tale begins with Pat reluctantly writing low-brow comics, feeling trapped in a life of drinking, smoking, and self-loathing. Despite her struggles, her mind is alive with visions of the great novel she longs to write—what will eventually become "Strangers on a Train," later adapted into a classic Hitchcock film. Amidst her tumultuous life, marked by conversion therapy and a series of fleeting romances, a significant affair and a chance encounter spark the idea for her groundbreaking love story that offered lesbian protagonists a happy ending. This narrative not only recounts the origins of a classic queer book but also delves into the life of a deeply flawed queer artist. It reflects on the challenges of writing in the 1950s while addressing the timeless struggle for a writer to find their voice. Ellis contextualizes Highsmith as an unintentional queer icon, acknowledging her problematic views and the complexities of her legacy, where life and art intertwined with often devastating consequences.

    • Po dlouhé době je v táboře klid, který chtějí Mal a Molly využít k randění. Jejich plány ale překazí návrat medvědí ženy a neplánovaná cesta portálem, na jehož druhé straně čekají… dinosauři. Proč do všeho musejí strkat nos dinosauři? Mezitím se Jo, April a Ripley věnují sbírání nudných bobříků a činnostem, které v žádném případě nezavání dobrodružnými výpravami ani používáním bojových umění. Jenže zdobení dortů a vystřihování může být pro „tvrďácký dámy“ daleko větší výzva než souboje s magickými bytostmi a tříokými liškami. Záleskautky se právem staly kultem pro moderní čtenářky i čtenáře. Ulítlou formou podporují hodnoty, jako jsou přátelství, tolerance, ochrana přírody a odvaha.
