so, this is what it’s come to: a comic zine about the trials and ok cupid
Four comic artists (Liz Prince, Ramsey “everydaypants” Beyer, Leslie Perrine, and Kettner) share their experiences on the dating service OK Cupid, from the slightly uncomfortable and cheesy (Liz Prince) to downright terrifying (Kettner). Kettner’s story was of particular interest, since it happens in Philadelphia, and I recognized a lot of the locations, and unfortunately, the type of woman he went out with. Quick fun read that’s also a good introduction to these talented cartoonists. (Available through Liz Prince’s webstore and also Ramesy Beyer’s Etsy store.)
