Ew, It's Beautiful: A False Knees Comic Collection by Barkman, Joshua

From the Eisner-nominated creator of the False Knees webcomic comes another witty and artful collection on themes of loneliness, creativity, wonder, and the beauty of the ordinary.

To hilarious effect, Joshua Barkman imagines the interior lives of birds as they navigate the seasons. With the occasional cat, raccoon, or insect thrown in for good measure, this masterful second collection offers a satisfying balance of humor and existentialism, visual jest and quiet contemplation.

Perfect for fans of Strange Planet and Poorly Drawn Lines, this memorable collection will also delight readers of classic strips like Calvin & Hobbes and The Far Side.
