REFRESHES HUMOR SHELVES: Shelves easily next to The Far Side, Bloom County, and other classic humor strips while offering something refreshingly inventive; LAKE GARY is a new classic of the genre humor strip fans will treasure. BRACING INSIGHT: Southworth skillfully packs clear-eyed insights about problems like climate change, app addiction, pollution, casual bigotry, and much more into four-panel bites with piercing accuracy. The book is perfect for activists (especially armchair ones!) with its view that the world is exactly as absurd as it seems. EXPERT ARTWORK: Paul Southworth has decades of professional art and design experience in gaming and webcomics, giving LAKE GARY a noticeable level of polish and panache that will jump off bookshelves.

LAKE GARY the book is full of wisdom, but Lake Gary the place is also a super fun place to visit!.
