"A brief, fun tour of a talented artist’s enjoyable works, perfect for a coffee table or gift for the millennial in your life." (The A.V. Club)
Synopsis
For life's bewildering dilemmas and awkward moments, Gemma Correll comes to the rescue... with the ultimate, essential compendium of advice you probably shouldn't trust and guidance you might want to think twice about.
- If your smoky eye makeup turns out more like Eye of Cthulhu...
- If your mood ring is stuck on “Paranoid”...
- If your jeans are distressed and and your cargo pants disheartened...
There is yet hope! A life guide like no other, Gemma Correll’s Miscellany is chock-full of dubious advice, puzzling proverbs, misguided wisdom, and frankly wrong factoids—all in the form of entertaining comics and at-a-glance charts and infographics.
Save yourself embarrassment and bewilderment, find hacks to problems you didn’t know you had and answers to questions you didn't know you wondered, and get invaluable (albeit utterly inaccurate and unuseful) tips on all-important topics like:
- fancy feminine protection
- the trendiest cleanse fads
- the least depressing pasta shapes
- sexy yet warm-enough négligées
- truly honest Valentine's cards
