Brown has been a quiet but potent force in American comics. From the pages of magazines such as \u003ci\u003eNational Lampoon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eYoung Lust\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eArcade\u003c\/i\u003e to her \u003ci\u003eDr. N!Godatu\u003c\/i\u003e animated shorts on \u003ci\u003eThe Tracey Ullman Show\u003c\/i\u003e, Brown crafts her work with an assured line and an untamable sense of humor that’s unlike anything else. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGathered here are some of her funniest and dreamiest cartoons, full of surreal scenarios (“What To Do When Cars Won’t Start in Dreams,” “Presidents Who Won’t Stop Growing”) and absurd characters (Earl D. Porker: Social Worker, Mercury: Messenger of God, Mr. Science), many captured in Brown’s signature gorgeous watercolors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso collected here for the first time is the entire run of \u003ci\u003eAunt Mary’s Kitchen\u003c\/i\u003e, her \u003ci\u003eNational Lampoon\u003c\/i\u003e strip that begins with an explanation of how to make shepherd’s pie before veering into a visit to the emergency room, encounters with homemade fig bar–thieving doctors, Stevie Wonder on TV, and an alien abduction. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAunt Mary’s Kitchen and Other Stories\u003c\/i\u003e also includes an interview with Brown, who talks about her years cartooning in Canada, Connecticut, and California, among other places. Together, this work confirms Brown as one of the most strikingly original voices in American comics, an artist whose incomparable vision reveals to us the absurdity in the everyday.","brand":"New York Review Comics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46481240228095,"sku":"9781681379555","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781681379555_s600x595.png?v=1782319488","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781681379555","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
