AEIOU or Any Easy Intimacy cover

AEIOU or Any Easy Intimacy

By Jeffrey Brown

240 pgs,mini,paperback

The 3rd book of the "girlfriend" trilogy, and has Jeffrey learned anything? Only that girls make him cry. The intimate details of this story are so magnified, it is difficult to see the whole thing, which is the author's intention. Every panel captures a feeling or situation we have all experienced in our own relationships, and perhaps you can see yourself in Jeffrey's squiggly lines.

Delayed Replays cover

Delayed Replays

By Liz Prince

From the Publisher:

"The second comics collection from Ignatz Award winner Liz Prince (WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME IF I WET THE BED?), further explores how one incredibly self-centered twenty-something finds contentment in her everyday life. From the amusing to the banal, Liz's comics are slice-of-life at its best, or if not best, at least most relatable. These strips could easily find their home in many alternative weekly papers, but Liz is too lazy to post them anywhere but her live journal."
