"For years I've encountered Lisa Hanawalt's comics and
illustrations piecemeal -- in various magazines and periodicals.
They're always a pleasant jolt. Now, they've been assembled into
one thick, blazing bludgeon. I envy you getting walloped by them
all for the first time. This is a Hanawalt assault.
Succumb."-Patton Oswalt
"Hanawalt's "My Dirty Dumb Eyes" is a fantastically vivid and
whimsical playground, offering page after page of absurdity, humor,
and charm. The artwork is stunning and the jokes are surprising and
fresh. This book is a rare and wonderful invitation inside the
surreal world of Hanawalt."--Kristen Schaal
"Lisa Hanawalt is as gifted of an artist as she is a hilarious
writer, which is completely upsetting and unfair considering how
untalented most people in this stupid world are. Her comics are
brilliantly funny, gloriously weird, and visually stunning. I
worship the chair she farts on."--Julie Klausner
"My Dirty Dumb Eyes" introduces Lisa Hanawalt as a first-rank
cartoonist/humorist/stalker for an audience that likes its humor
idiosyncratic, at times anthropomorphic or scatological, often
uncomfortable, and always sharp witted. Her world vision is
intricately rendered in a full spectrum of color, unapologetically
gorgeous and intensely bizarre. With movie reviews, tips for her
readers, laugh-out-loud lists and short pieces such as "Rumors I've
Heard About Anna Wintour," and "The Secret Lives of Chefs,"
Hanawalt's comedy shines, making the quotidian silly and surreal,
flatulent and facetious.
Hanawalt's comics have appeared in the "Hairpin,"
VanityFair.com, the "New York Times," and the "Believer." She lives
in Brooklyn with a dog and a comedian.
