A 2023 GLAAD Media Award Nominee for Outstanding Original Graphic Novel A 2023 ALA Best Graphic Novel for Adults In Parallel, creator Matthias Lehmann deftly explores the complexities of being gay at a time when queer relationships were forbidden. Torn between his longing for a family and his simultaneous desire for gay love, Karl Kling hides his homosexuality from his wife and child while pursuing male romances in 1950s Germany. Karl Kling's story is one of revelations, and these he has addressed in a letter to his daughter, Hella, who had disowned Karl many years ago. Karl's letter is a cri de coeur from a father to a daughter he never really got to know, and he comes clean to her about his failed marriages, his fractured family relations--and his love for men. Taking place between the end of World War II and the 1980s, Parallel chronicles Karl's efforts to comply with social norms in order to keep his sexuality a secret. It also paints a picture of a life torn between conformity and rebellion, and the cruel realities of twentieth-century German society, where homosexuality was proscribed and punishable until 1994. Matthias Lehmann poignantly depicts the story of a decades-long yearning to live an open and free life, and the price Karl and those he loves must pay for it. It is also a story of finding the courage to finally tell the truth no matter the obstacles...or the cost.Shipping Notes

Durable chew toy that keeps my puppy engaged
Size: X-Small, Color: Tangerine, Size: X-Small, Color: Tangerine
My dog went crazy for this toy the second I gave it to him.
He is an 8-month-old 7.5 pound Yorkie puppy, an aggressive chewer on the tail end of teething. He has shown no mercy to this toy and yet there’s not a dent in it. That’s why I got it because the material holds up to aggressive chewing. My puppy has confirmed that!
It keeps him entertained for a long time. It’s small enough to fit in his mouth for chewing but not so small that he would choke.
He loves to sit on the couch but is too young to jump off. This toy keeps him entertained on the couch for a long time so he stays put. He is totally focused on the toy. It is the perfect toy for a bored chewer. Works really well. And it’s super easy to clean.
Because it’s such a small toy, I’m only letting him use it when I’m nearby to supervise. But it has really held up to those busy teeth and Yorkie jaw.
It’s hard to find a durable toy that also holds his interest. This seems to check all the boxes. I didn’t even have to coat it with a treat taste to draw his interest.
I think the bone shape is very functional and attractive for him. He can go a solid 30 minutes chewing on it without getting bored or distracted, and that’s a long time for a Yorkie puppy.
I got this toy because I noticed he wanted to chew, but I was tired of other toys that came apart. This one seems like the right durable choice.

Best it for dogs that destroy all other toys
Size: Large, Color: Granny Smith
We bought his it for our dog in 2020 when we rescued her. She has literally destroyed every single toy she has within minutes of giving them to her, but not this toy. It has lasted almost 6 years. It finally started to tear in the center so we bought her another one. Honestly it probably broke from my kids playing tug of war with her and they toy and that’s not really what it’s designed for. I’d rate this a 10/10. It’s quality but no so hard she’ll hurt her teeth.

Finally an all-purpose toy that doesn’t fall apart!
I thought there wasn’t a toy in the world that could withstand the craziness of our 95 lb German Shepherd, until I found this! It’s great for rolling, tugging, fetching, and chewing, soft enough rubber for his teeth yet so far solid enough to not fall apart. He’s had it for almost a month and I don’t see any rips, holes, or missing pieces. I don’t know if it floats since we use it in the house. And a HUGE bonus: IT DOESN’T SQUEAK. 🥳🥳🥳 We ordered a size Large and it’s a perfect fit. He loves to grab and carry it around when he’s excited, so it’s solid but not too heavy. Will definitely be checking out more toys from this brand. Thank you West Paw!

Durable with limitation
Size: Large, Color: Granny Smith
offers good durability, but our Olde English Bulldogge was able chew an end section nearly off so cut it off and allow him to enjoy the Zogoflex under supervision
