Julia Wertz's Drinking at the Movies is a collection of messy and hilarious tales of young adulthood. Her witty illustrations and candid storytelling make it astonishingly relatable, especially for those of us who've navigated our fair share of late-night escapades and existential hangovers.Publisher description:
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.
