P&P Live! Tommy Siegel | I HOPE THIS HELPS with Ben Thornewill
Nov 11, 2020 Politics and Prose
Join cartoonist, Tommy Siegel as he discusses his new book, "I Hope this Helps" in conversation with Ben Thornewill on P&P Live!
Tommy Siegel's debut book collection includes 200+ pages of comics, essays, and extremely helpful guides to coping with 21st-century panic. With comics titled "Choose your social anxiety coping mechanism" and "What your coffee drink of choice says about you," I Hope This Helps offers clever and sardonic commentary on our phone-obsessed, social media-driven culture, as well as a series of devastatingly funny relationship comics starring his popular Candy Hearts characters.
Tommy Siegel is a cartoonist and musician who tries his best to juggle both pastimes with assistance from copious amounts of coffee. As lead guitarist and singer for his solo projects and his power pop trio Jukebox The Ghost, Tommy has played over 1,000 shows around the world, including festivals like Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza and late-night television programs like Letterman and Conan. As a cartoonist, his challenge to draw 500 consecutive days of comics led to a viral fanbase of hundreds of thousands worldwide.
In addition to his own solo work, Ben Thornewill is a singer/songwriter/pianist in Jukebox the Ghost (alongside Tommy Siegel), an internationally-touring cult pop/rock band. In addition to festivals like Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Bonnaroo, and Bottlerock, Jukebox the Ghost has also performed on The Late Show with David Letterman and Conan. Born in Louisville, Kentucky, he currently resides in Brooklyn, NY where you can find him working out of his home studio as a songwriter and audio engineer for TV, film, and musical theater.
