Presents a reflection on early adulthood in which the author moves from San Francisco to Brooklyn at the height of Obama's election frenzy and endures a series of minimum-wage jobs, local competitiveness, and problems back home. The creator of the popular "Fart Party" comic strip presents a raw reflection on early adulthood through which aspiring artist Wertz moves from San Francisco to Brooklyn at the height of Obama's election frenzy and endures a series of minimum-wage jobs, local competitiveness and problems back home. Original. In her first full-length graphic memoir, Julia Wertz (creator of the cult-hit comicThe Fart Party) documents the year she left San Francisco for the unfamiliar streets of New York. Don’t worry—this isn’t the typical redemptive coming-of-age tale of a young woman and her glorious triumph over tragedy or any such nonsense. It’s simply a hilarious—occasionally poignant—book filled with interesting art, absurd humor and plenty of amusing self-deprecation. Box by box, Wertz chronicles four sketchy apartments, seven terrible jobs, family drama, traveling fiascos, and too many whiskey bottles to count.
