The tale of a man's desperate attempt to escape the mundane horrors of the corporate world, for a dream of blue-collar paradise. It was a 1998 Eisner nominee for Best Single Issue or One-Shot.
Warning for suicidal ideation.

"I think 'Sweet Tooth' is about Gus and Jepperd. It's about Gus coming of age, and it's about Jepperd learning to love again and opening his heart again. That's what the book is about, so that's what the ending should be about. To throw in a big twist would be false." -- Jeff Lemire

"I really think it’s about trying to look at the world in a different way. What I mean by that is, if you look around at the state of the world, it’s pretty easy to see that it’s not a great place. There’s a lot of terrible things going on in the world. We’re not treating each other very well. It’s going back to that idea that we’re all connected, and getting back to a simpler way of life. Gus and the hybrid kids really represent that. They’re the innocence of childhood. When you’re a kid, you’re not as corrupted by the world at large. You’re not corrupted by prejudices. You’re much more open-minded. Much more interested in the world around you. Sweet Tooth is about the world returning to that kind of place." -- Jeff Lemire
