Sammy The Mouse
In what will possibly be considered a mixture of David Peterson's "Mouse Guard" and "Maakies' Drinky Crow", Zak Sally, the former bassist of LOW, is releasing the first volume of "Sammy the Mouse" this week with Fatagraphics' "Ignatz" series. A double Eisner award nominee, Sally made his name with his comic "Recidivist". As reported on pitchfork, Sally explains "Sammy the Mouse" as a "big long 250-300 page story about an alcoholic mouse and his alcoholic pals." With "Recidivist" being on comicreporter.com best of 2005 list, I would say expectations for "Sammy" should be high.

As an added bonus, here is an animated video for LOW's Hatchet, though Sally does not play on this track:
