Drinking at the Movies

By Julia Wertz

In her first full-length graphic memoir, Julia Wertz (creator of the cult-hit comic The 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.
