Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Motherless Oven is a 2014 dark fantasy graphic novel created by Rob Davis. It was followed by The Can Opener's Daughter in 2016 and The Book of Forks in 2019.The world of these books is surreal and imaginative: children design and make their own parents, the sky rains knives and household appliances are seen as Gods.The first book in the trilogy centres on Scarper Lee, a normal teenager who is two weeks away from his 'Death Day' and is spending his last days on earth simply going to school and hanging around with his friends. All this changes when he meets Vera Pike, a strange and sly girl with a mysterious past, and Castro, a boy with an odd mechanical implant who likes to dissect egg timers. Pike and Castro encourage Scarper to run away with them in order to escape his Death Day and find the mysterious Motherless Oven, where it is believed all children make their parents.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The Can Opener's Daughter, continued the story of The Motherless Oven while also exploring Pike's backstory and her relationship with her overbearing mother. | |

| The Motherless Oven (Comic Book) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: The Book of Forks concludes with Castro, who is incredibly weak and seems near death, leaving behind Scarper and Pike to stop the knife storm coming from Grave Acre. Scarper and Pike will likely never see him again. However, Castro leaves behind his "Book of Forks", which he hopes will finally bring peace (or an end) to the Death States once everyone reads it and understands the truth behind everything. | |

Boarding School of Horrors: The second book explores Vera's childhood and how she was forcibly enrolled in St. Sylvia's School of Bleak Prospects and Suicide. It's just as lovely as it sounds.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Alas, Poor Villain | |

Alas, Poor Villain: Vera's mother, the fake Weather Clock, is murdered in the street by an angry mob of people, who each get a turn stabbing her with a knife. Vera's father begs his daughter to leave him with her mother's body, so he can comfort her to the end. Stour Provost, the leader of Bear Park's police force, was hardly a sympathetic character, yet her death is far from merciful. She is handcuffed to a statue and left to be torn apart by the knife rain. | |

| The Motherless Oven (Comic Book) / int_dd11249d | comment |
Artificial Family Member: All parents were created by their children in the Motherless Oven. Scarper's mum is a Bakelite hairdryer, whereas Castro's mum is a flock of budgies (who all seem to talk in her voice). Orson's father is depicted on the page image, resembling a gigantic sphere with a face and legs. His mother on the other hand, appears much more animalistic in comparison. The titular Motherless Oven is shown in more detail in the second book. Each child is given a mixture of materials to work from and are only inhibited by their imagination in what they can create. | |
