Success Is 90% Spite (Comic)

- Blurb -

Life is hard, and sometimes, it takes ample distractions, an overactive imagination, and a healthy amount of spite to get through it all. Success Is 90% Spite is a collection of high-energy, slice-of-life comics born from the panic of a quarter-life crisis that chronicle artist Jane Zei' s endearingly awkward and whimsical efforts to navigate adulthood. With favourite selections from her popular webcomic, The Pigeon Gazette, and a wealth of brand-new content, this collection covers a range of topics in both short, four-panel and longer-form comics, told in a familiar style but with an extra dose of narrative imagination. From college finals, hiding in the bathroom at parties, and constant video games to an office job, remembering colleague' s names, and even more video games, here is that familiar moment when high-flying optimism meets cold, hard adulthood. Jane' s stories of awkward subway flirting, mounting credit-card debt, navigating friendships as an adult, and taking countless snack breaks (and other people' s snacks) are told with upbeat and imaginative twists that show just how ridiculous growing up can be, in a collection that is at once relatable, hilarious, and impossible not to share.
