In 2022, Igort, an acclaimed Italian cartoonist of Russian descent, began taking down the testimonies of Ukrainians during the Russian invasion. He turned them into online comics journalism, collected here for the first time in English. "The collapsing bodies look like marionettes. The clouds of dust captured by drones have a surreal beauty. The crumpling buildings look like houses of cards. Even so, it's upsetting, panic-inducing. How can you not think about the human lives, just like your own, buried under that rubble?" In this real-time work of graphic journalism (posted serially on Facebook), the cartoonist Igort uses the medium of comics to depict the telephone testimonies of Ukrainians as Russia invaded in 2022. In vignettes that grow ever more horrifying - infiltrating spies, bombed cities, recorded accounts of children whose parents were murdered in front of their eyes, and more - Igort also relays the events that led up to the invasion, such as the torture and killing of human rights activists. He tells stories of individual struggle and suffering with no resolutions because they are still happening: Of Tetiana, who fled in the middle of the night with her children and whose car broke down on the steppe. And Maksim, who lived in Belgium and went for a five-day family visit and who could not return home when his mother died of COVID due to martial law. In art styles that veer from cartoony simplicity to photorealistic, depending on what the moment demands, Igort paints portraits and scenes of ordinary people trying to survive among almost 10,000 civilian deaths. How War Begins is an important document of the past, the present, and the future. Igort (Igor Tuveri), b. 1958, is a prolific award-winning Italian cartoonist and the founder of Oblomov Press, a comics publisher. He is best known for his graphic novel 5 is the Perfect Number, which won the Book of the Year award at the Frankfurt Book Fair. He is also a film director and directed the movie adaptation in 2019. His previous works of graphic journalism include Russian Notebooks and Nomadic Pages.

Not as pictured
From the picture, this duck looked stuffed and full. Instead it is completely flat.

Not so durable, but still decent
Durable...if you don't have a dog that chews. But it is cute and he LOVED it while it lasted. He just has a vengence against all squeakers.

Great Soft Duck Toy
I've bought several of these over the years. My Australian Shepherds love them and often play with the duck on their own. Eventually one surcomes to an occasional tug-a-war. My dogs are moderate tuggers.

It's his favorite toy
This duck is his favorite toy. He takes his "duck baby" up to bed with him every night. It's held up to his love well. This is his second duck as the one we received as a gift 2 years ago is still alive and well just very dirty and in need of a stand in when his time comes. Over all Rico is quite happy with Duck and would give 5 barks.
