Big Mushy Happy Lump

Swimsuit season is coming up! Better get beach-body ready! Work on those abs! Lift those butts! Um . . . no. Forget all that and just be a lump. A Big Mushy Happy Lump! Sarah Andersen's second comics collection picks up right where the first left off—huddled under a pile of blankets avoiding the responsibilities of the real world. These new comics (and illustrated personal essays!) follow the ups and downs of the unrelenting self-esteem roller coaster that is young adult life: budgeting woes, cramps, the nuances of sweater theft, and the joy of staying home all day with a box of pizza. All aboard. Sarah Andersen is a young cartoonist and illustrator who lives in Brooklyn. She's actually really cool and collected in real life. Definitely.
