This boook introduces the author/artist as a cartoonist/humorist/stalker for an audience that likes its humor idiosyncratic, at times anthropomorphic or scatological, often uncomfortable, and always sharp witted. Her world vision is intricately rendered in a full spectrum of color, unapologetically gorgeous and intensely bizarre. With movie reviews, tips for her readers, laugh-out-loud lists and short pieces such as "Rumors I've Heard About Anna Wintour," and "The Secret Lives of Chefs," Hanawalt's comedy shines, making the quotidian silly and surreal, flatulent and facetious.… (more)

If Lisa Hanawalt's artwork doesn't end up in a museum someday I'm gonna come back as a ghost and haunt the MET and Louvre until the make a Hanawalt exhibition. Her work is so unique and colorful that I can't help but love it.
I've never seen the 3 movies she has longer essays about in here (Planet of the Apes, Drive, and Warhorse) so I felt a bit disconnected from those pieces, but the rest was super fun to read! Her short comics especially are always good for a laugh. :) (

It wasn't my cup of tea, but!

If you have a late 20s or 30-something anxiety who can identify with Portlandia??
Enjoy the aesthetic of Bojack Horseman (and would blend it with David Lynch maybe?)
Would enjoy the aesthetic of pre-1982 DEVO but with walking animals

I think you'd enjoy this. I think it's mostly because I've been saturated with the themes over my life and I'm not in the time of my life where I want to be anymore. I can see a time where I might have been really into this. It's good for people who are right in the midst of their glorious anxiety-induced future-questioning affluent naturalized city life. (

SO WEIRD. Also, really explains a lot about BoJack Horseman. (
