Stephanie is completely honest about the Master Cleanse experience - the hunger pains, the gross white tongue, and especially the extreme tiredness. In the conclusion, she admits that the Cleanse served as more of a mental “reset” button than anything else: “Intellectually, I maintain my doubts as to the actual, physical, measurable, ‘cleansing’ qualities that set the program apart from a simple starvation diet.” A quick read on a health trend.

The Great Pretenders and Other Stories / Julia Wertz
Short collection of older comics from the Fart Party years, and previews of longer works in progress. Julia is developing her storytelling skills, drawing many stories of her childhood and teenage years in a small northern California town, featuring local legends, family trauma, and religious guilt. If this sampler is any indication, the end results will be different from her previous work, much darker and honest. Although when she draws herself as a little girl, it’s still the cutest fucking thing ever. (Available from her web store.)
