Screw Heaven, When I Die I'm Going to Mars

by Shannon Wheeler

Screw Heaven, When I Die I'm Going to Mars Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

For longer than a decade Shannon Wheeler's flagship character Too Much Coffee Man has cast his tender, cynical gaze on lots of stuff that deserves to be made fun of, from the insipidity of coffee consumer culture to the horrendous reality of dating. This latest collection of short cartoons takes a step back from the cartoonist's usual scrutiny of mundane pettiness and takes a somewhat sweeter look at life's bigger issues. The result is the funniest, most sharply executed collection of Wheeler's comics ever.

Review:

"The book reads like a catchall roundup of musings with no fixed theme, but that's fine, given some of the terrific directions it goes in....All in all, it's a distracted, random bundle, but it's frequently sweet, entertaining, smart, or all of the above. (Grade: B+)" The Onion A.V. Club
