EVENT DESCRIPTION:
Join New York-based cartoonist Lisa Hanawalt in launching her hilarious debut collection, MY DIRTY DUMB EYES, which has received advance praise from Patton Oswalt, Kristen Schaal, Julie Klausner, and Michael Kupperman. With movie reviews, tips for her readers, laugh-out-loud lists, and short pieces such as “Rumors I’ve Heard About Anna Wintour” and “The Secret Lives of Chefs,” Hanawalt makes the quotidian silly and surreal, flatulent and facetious, proving herself to be one of the foremost humor cartoonists of our time. Her presentation will be followed by a Q&A and signing.

BIO:
Lisa Hanawalt is a renowned self-publisher and illustrator living in Brooklyn, New York. Her comics work has won several awards, and she was recently nominated for a James Beard Award for Humor for her piece, "The Secret Lives of Chefs." Hanawalt’s illustration and comics clients include The New York Times, New York Magazine, The Hairpin, McSweeneys, Chronicle Books, and Vanity Fair. She lives in Brooklyn with a dog and a comedian.

“For years I’ve encountered Lisa Hanawalt’s comics and illustrations piecemeal—in various magazines and periodicals. They’re always a pleasant jolt. Now, they’ve been assembled into one thick, blazing bludgeon. I envy you getting walloped by them all for the first time. This is a Hanawalt assault. Succumb.”
—PATTON OSWALT

“Lisa Hanawalt’s My Dirty Dumb Eyes is a fantastically vivid and whimsical playground, offering page after page of absurdity, humor, and charm. The artwork is stunning and the jokes are surprising and fresh. This book is a rare and wonderful invitation inside the surreal world of Hanawalt.”
—KRISTEN SCHAAL

“Lisa Hanawalt is as gifted of an artist as she is a hilarious writer, which is completely upsetting and unfair considering how untalented most people in this stupid world are. Her comics are brilliantly funny, gloriously weird, and visually stunning. I worship the chair she farts on.”
—JULIE KLAUSNER

“Lisa’s work makes me think of lots of words beginning with F: Fearsome, Fabulous, Ferocious, Funny. With very Fine drawing.”
—MICHAEL KUPPERMAN
