Description
Book SynopsisDiscover the pioneering new comic from transgender cartoonist Erin Nations! Called by critics "funny, sincere, and just generally brilliant," Gumballs is a one-man variety show spanning graphic memoir, observational comedy, razor-sharp character studies, and so much more.Gumballs dispenses an array of bright, candy-colored short comics about Erin''s gender transition, anecdotal true tales of growing up as a triplet, and fictional stories of a socially inept lovestruck teenager named Tobias. The wide-ranging series is filled with single-page gag cartoons, visual diaries of everyday life, funny faux personal ads, and real-life horror stories of customers at his day job.
Gumballs offers a variety of flavors that will surely delight anyone with a taste for candid self-reflection and observations of humanity.
Gumballs tips its hat to the classic alt-comic tradition of
Eightball,
Optic Nerve, and
Box Office Poison, but speaks with a delightfully fresh voice for the modern age.
This book collects
Gumballs #1-4, plus 32 pages of brand-new content!
