| Before the critically acclaimed animated shows (Tuca and Bertie and BoJack Horseman), the bestselling graphic novel, Coyote Doggirl, and the humor collections, Hot Dog Taste Test and My Dirty Dumb Eyes, cartoonist Lisa Hanawalt was a comic book industry sensation with her Ignatz Award-winning minicomic series, I Want You. Hanawalt's outlandish humor and ingenious formalism are evident in the comics collected in I Want You (Drawn & Quarterly). Her love of anthropomorphism and scatology are on full display, all lovingly and grotesquely drawn by Hanawalt in obsessive, unnerving detail. Whether she's discussing the daily commute or masturbation, she packs each comic in I Want You with punchy cultural observations and sharp-witted reflections on typically taboo subjects. A master humorist, Hanawalt strikes the perfect balance between drawing the gorgeous and the repugnant, the fantastical and the lifelike, the bizarre and the hilarious — creating a deeply human experience that everyone can relate to. Hanawalt will be joined in conversation by comedian and writer Emily Heller. |
