YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY Simon Hanselmann

You Will Own Nothing and You Will be Happy.

Update: 05 May 2023: After what felt like a bit of a delay, You Will Own Nothing and You Will be Happy is available to buy through Simon’s store. Click here: https://meggandmogg.com/products/you-will-own-nothing-and-you-will-be-happy-1

The reason I love Simon Hanselmann: He does the gags and the gross, sure, but then, every now and again, he drops something like the above, something that carries just an unbelievable amount of emotional and aesthetic heft.

Keep an eye on Simon’s socials for the first issue of You Will Own Nothing and You Will be Happy, a new quarterly serial. It’s coming soon, apparently.

Big Ugly by Ellice Weaver.

Ellice Weaver’s forthcoming book, Big Ugly, is a post coming of age comedy drama. Follow Mel as she deals with life, ruts, family expectations, and the complexities of adult sibling relationships.

Weaver comes from an illustration background. I suppose it shows. Mattisse or Gauguin as filtered through Marie Clare? Whatever, totes gorge. She also never falls into the trap, common to some with a history in illustration, of treating comics as a series of static set pieces.

Big Ugly by Ellice Weaver. Hardcover. 128 Pages. Full Colour. Avery Hill Publishing. Ships in May. Available for Pre-order.
