Hi, It‘s Me Again

A cartoon book that will change your life. Ideally, for the better. Hi, It‘s Me Again is the second collection from New Yorker cartoonist and The Late Show writer Asher Perlman. It comes just one year after his national bestselling debut, Well, This Is Me, and it raises important questions like, "Was this too quick to come out with another book?" and "No, seriously, will people buy this one?" Stephen Colbert calls Asher "very funny" and "keenly attuned to the inherent strangeness of existence." Ben Stiller says Asher‘s cartoons are "the kind of funny that makes you question what it is to be a person." And Mahatma Gandhi says, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." That one isn‘t as relevant here, but it‘s still nice to keep in mind. Anxiety, OCD, the human condition, death--these are just a few of the lighthearted themes explored in this book. A well-proportioned blend of single panel cartoons and longer narrative pieces, Hi, It‘s Me Again has it all, from a vampire stress-drinking blood, to a pinata pressuring her son into being beaten to death by children. And there are some less violent cartoons as well. One thing is certain: Hi, It‘s Me Again is the best compilation of Asher‘s cartoons since his last cartoon compilation, and it will certainly remain the best at least until his next.
