This is the earliest published work from Lynda Barry, originally printed in Evergreen College’s newspaper. These comics are gloriously primitive!
I would not recommend these comics as a first exposure to Lynda Barry, because they really are kind of artistically crude, however folks who have read What It Is or her Marly’s comics and want to see the artistic ground she treaded earlier will love this document of her earliest work.
I’m so inspired by Lynda Barry and this book is no different for me on that level. Her included reflections on this older work provides a great perspective to the art community that her generation grew in. Praise the USPS! Her sense of humor and realism is so refreshing in a world of digital art and mass media.
