*Thanks to Random House for the free book.
A hilariously insightful and honest collection of cartoons on love and dating, gender politics, art, humanity, and much more.
Finck is a regular contributor to @thenewyorker and other top-notch publications, and it’s clear why. Her drawings are wrought with emotion and careful thought. Finck has an uncanny ability to put into drawings universally understood feelings and scenarios that is second to none. While reading, I was continually nodding my head, audibly saying “YES!,” and passing the book around to show others the funniest comics. The amount of time and effort that this book requires absolutely feeds into why I gave it five stars. Reading Excuse Me, and experiencing these entertaining and thought-provoking drawings, is a fantastic use of your time – and you won’t even be dedicating that much time! This is a perfect read-in-one-sitting or keep-on-the-coffee-table-and-flip-through-slowly book. I so enjoyed Excuse Me, and I think anyone can and will enjoy it too, but I specifically recommend it to lovers of Instagram cartoonists like @awardsforgoodboys, @violetclair, @butlikemaybe, + @brooklyncartoons - to name a few of my faves.
