Synopses & Reviews
International comics sensation and opera star Too Much Coffee Man returns to the printed page! Collecting acclaimed cartoonist Shannon Wheeler’s musings on modern life, Cutie Island brings together Too Much Coffee Man and a host of other characters into one neuroses-packed volume!A new cartoon collection from the mind of Eisner Award-winning, Harvey-nominated, and current New Yorker cartoonist, Shannon Wheeler! Too Much Coffee Man, the long-underwear-clad hero, returns to the printed page in his first new adventures since having his life remade in opera form. Wheeler remains one of the best satirists of a generation, lending a hilariously cynical eye to Too Much Coffee Man’s struggle to make sense of the ever-changing modern world—with a space-octopus thrown in for good measure, of course.
