Adulthood is a myth A "Sarah's scribbles" collection

Sarah Andersen

Book - 2016

Adulthood is a myth confronts head-on the horrors, anxiety, and awkwardness of modern adult life. From the agony of holding hands with a gorgeous guy to the yawning pit of hell that is the wifi gone down to the eye-watering pain of eating too-hot pizza because one cannot stand to wait for it to cool down, Sarah fearlessly documents it all. Like the work of fellow Millennial authors Allie Brosh, Grace Helbig, and Gemma Correll, Sarah's total frankness on extremely personal issues such as body image, self-consciousness, introversion, relationships, and bra-washing makes her comics highly relatable and consistently hilarious.

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Andersen explores the foibles of young adulthood in this debut collection of single-gag strips, many of which have already found viral success online. These "scribbles" poke gently at everything from paycheck management to pedicures. Andersen is an excellent caricaturist-some of her funniest punch lines are panels of wordless, wide-eyed faces. Like so many talented comedians before her, much of her best material comes from the uncomfortable and even embarrassing aspects of life. Strips that engage social anxiety in all forms-including body-hair depilation and social media performance-are standouts, and judging by their online reception, they're among her most relatable work. This isn't a volume that will speak to everyone, but it doesn't need to be. In keeping her focus strictly personal, Andersen makes a bold debut into print. (Mar.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC.
