Urban Animals: A Comic Field Guide

You’ve seen them before. They’re in your home, in your office, on the street. You’ve encountered them at some fine and not-so-fine establishments. They’re the new urban animals, and now they’ve been classified. You know you’ve met Every Mother’s Worse Nightmare (“So what if it says ‘P***y’ on the front, Mom? There’s a picture of a cat under the word”) and The Simpsons Quoter (Natural habitat: His own private Springfield, no further description necessary). From That Young Literary Guy, who has just published a novel, half of which is comprised of footnotes, to The Condescending Vegetarian, who misses the nineties, when it was more acceptable to call a hamburger evil just as a dining companion was about to attack one, this book takes a biting look at the creatures that inhabit our everyday urban world laugh-out-loud portraits, with a touch of the tragically comic. Beware, you might find yourself in here.
