Mr Butterchips - A Collection of Cantankerous Commentary - by Alex Schumacher (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

"If you wished you had someone like Larry David in Curb Your Enthusiasm in comics, then Mr. Butterchips is for you." - Shean Mohammed, Graphic Policy

Since 2016, the titular maniacal monkey has delivered installments of ill-tempered observations skewering right-wing derangement. From the "Deep State" alarmists to the "MAGA" idolaters, no intolerant consortium is safe from Mr. Butterchips! The salty simian continues to toil away in his customer service position while raging against the dying light in the monthly online literary magazine Drunk Monkeys.

This collection from SLG Publishing assembles all 45 previously published comics for the first time along with an all-new trippy adventure through San Francisco which you won't find anywhere else!



Review Quotes

-- MICHAEL JANTZE, creator of The Norm comic strip

-- DAVID GEISER, creator of classic underground comics Saloon, Demented Pervert, Edge City, et al.
