Synopses & Reviews
In 2004, Julia Wertz began a series of funny, irreverent autobiographical comics she called "The Fart Party." After posting these comics online to acclaim and controversy, she eventually started collecting these comics as self-published minis which found their way to Atomic Books in Baltimore, who thought they ought to be collected into a proper book so as to garner Julia more laughs and hate mail.
As these things go, the first volume was so successful, there was a second volume. Both are now out of print, but Museum of Mistakes collects them into one book, plus numerous pages of Julia's early comic work, unpublished and/or previously uncollected comics, short stories, illustrations, process pages, hate mail, sketchbook pages, tear stains and more.

About the Author
Julia Wertz was born on the wrong side of the tracks in northern California in 1982 to a Christian reverend and a Sunday school teacher. Obviously, something went horribly wrong, and this book is the result. Wertz currently lives in Brooklyn, New York where she works as a professional cartoonist and amateur urban explorer. Her comics, books, and art can be seen at Museum of Mistakes (JuliaWertz.com), and her photography, research and exploring stories appear on Adventure Bible School (adventurebibleschool.com). Her previous work has earned two Eisner nominations.
