The only thing I've been missing since I quit Instagram is Nathan W. Pyle's Strange Planet comics.
So I bought his book.
So I bought his book.
I have completed examining the renderings in the firm stack of paper. It was a gift from a being who is a friend. The renderings brought me much joy.
Seriously, Nathan Pyle is very talented. Strange Planet is a great collection of his work. The book really brightened my day.

Fun, humorous, and a delightful read! I was thoroughly entertained from start to finish.
I always love seeing one of these comics pop up in my Facebook newsfeed, having a whole book of them was even better.
I've been following [a:Nathan W. Pyle|7064519|Nathan W. Pyle|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1554663151p2/7064519.jpg] on instagram (@nathanwpylestrangeplanet) for almost a year now so I was definitely looking forward to reading this book.
I'll admit that I haven't read all ~500 of the comic strips that he's posted on his account, so most of the ones that were featured in this book were new to me (which was nice).
If you're unfamiliar with Strange Planet comics, they are essentially adorably weird comics about aliens living human lives using very formal language. These comics do a great job poking fun at habits and mannerisms that most people would view as "normal"
This one wasn't included in the book but I really liked it so I'll include it in my review:

A fun collection of some of [a:Nathan W. Pyle|7064519|Nathan W. Pyle|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1554663151p2/7064519.jpg]'s Instagram greatest hits. I really enjoyed the order that they were presented in and the production of the book overall.
What a pleasant start to the new year. While [b: Everyone’s A Aliebn When Ur A Aliebn Too|32497573|Everyone's a Aliebn When Ur a Aliebn Too|Jomny Sun|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1481043761l/32497573._SY75_.jpg|53090016] focuses on a single alien who’s been outcast and left to fend for himself and learn about earthlings, Pyle’s aliens joyfully learn the nuances of human life together. There‘s rarely (if ever) only one alien in Pyle’s comic panels. They experience and share everything they learn with gleeful naïveté and fascination. Jonny Sun’s “aliebn” is much more introspective compared to Pyle’s sociable “beings.” That’s not to say that the beings never get deep into their thoughts and feelings, but I think overall their comics are much more light-hearted and fun. I especially like figuring out what their unique identifiers are referring to, such as “skyshield” (umbrella), “spinblaster” (microwave), and “sustenance preserver” (refrigerator). It’s a fun way to think about everyday life from a different perspective. Highly recommend for a laugh or a nice mood lift.
