Fart Party / Julia Wertz

Fart Party is amazzzzing.  That's Fart. Party. By Julia Wertz. Atomic Books published a compilation of the heroically ID black and white comics one whole year ago (as of October 3), and you must read it. I cannot explain why it is what it is (and it is one of the best books I've read all year. And actually, one of the best zines of the year since I first read it in minicomic/zine form), because I won't be able to do it justice.  Simply point your browsers to fartparty.org, where you can find all sorts of thrice-weekly comic delights.  Read the most recent then compulsively read every single last one in the hefty backlog.

Uh, see also Liz Prince of Will you still love me if I wet the bed? fame.

They are both cool as hell.
