Overview

For almost two decades, Julia Wertz has been documenting her life’s most intimate, absurd, and amusing moments through a whimsical and hilarious diary comic book called The Fart Party. Wertz retells childhood antics that end in scars and swears. She tracks, in real-time, her young adulthood as she forgot her college graduation, traveled cross country via train, and drank her way through a harsh break-up. After receiving much acclaim (and controversy), The Fart Party became a series of self-published mini-comics, eventually collected into two volumes, published by Atomic Books. Long out of print, Museum of Mistakes collects anything and everything that is The Fart Party. PLUS: numerous pages of Julia’s early comic work, unpublished and previously uncollected comics, short stories, illustrations, process pages, hate mail, sketchbook pages, tear stains, and more. This massive tome begs the question, “what is a Fart Party?” And the answer is... you’ll have to read to find out!

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"Museum of Mistakes displays a magnificent collection of laffs, gags, and profound profundity. Well worth the price of admission." —Carol Tyler

"Julia is the funniest, most unique voice in comics rights now, not picking up this book would be a huge f***king mistake." —Brian K. Vaughan

"There is adventure, persistence, and charm in Julia's face-slapping stories. These comics look cute and nice, but they aren't; they are interesting, and convey life throes very well." —Gary Panter
