Living in New York City for five years as a transplant from
Ohio, illustrator and T-shirt designer Nathan Pyle was fascinated
by the unique habits and unspoken customs New Yorkers follow to
make life bearable in a city with 8 million people (and seemingly
twice the number of tourists). Nathan decided to draw his favorite
tips and etiquette lessons and post them on the internet, where his
12 original panels went viral immediately and became the basis for
this hilarious illustrated book (check out the fully animated
ebook, too ).
In NYC Basic Tips and Etiquette, Pyle reveals the secrets and
unwritten rules for living in and visiting New York including the
answers to such burning questions as, which cabs should I try to
hail? What is a bodega? Which way is Uptown? Why are there so many
doors in the sidewalk? How do I walk on an escalator? Do we need to
be touching right now? Where should I inhale or exhale while
passing sidewalk garbage? How long should I honk my horn? If New
York were a game show, how would I win? What happens when I stand
in the bike lane? Who should get the empty subway seats? How do I
stay safe during a trash tornado? Each tip is a little story
illustrated in simple black and white drawings.
Visitors and newcomers to New York will love it because the
advice is smart, funny, and not condescending. New Yorkers will
love it for its strategic and humorous approach to mastering the
daily chaos of the city.
Based on the phenomenally popular Instagram comic, a hilariously perceptive and hugely addictive look at an alien world not unlike our own
From the mind of New York Times-bestselling author Nathan W. Pyle comes an adorable and profound universe in pink, blue, green, and purple. Since launching on Instagram in Feb 2019, Strange Planet has become a viral sensation - and this book, based on the side-splitting Instagram comic - covers a full life cycle of the alien planet's inhabitants, including milestones such as:
- The Emergence Day
- Being Gains a Sibling
- The Being Family Attains a Beast
- The Formal Education of a Being
- Celebration of Special Days
- Being Begins a Vocation
- The Beings at Home
- Health Status of a Being
- The Hobbies of a Being
- The Extended Family of the Being
- The Being Reflects on Life While Watching the Planet Rotate
With dozens of never-before-seen illustrations in addition to old favorites, Strange Planet offers a sweet and hilarious look at a distant world not all that unlike our own.
The sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling (November 2019)
phenomenon Strange Planet, featuring more hilarious and poignant
adventures from the fascinating inhabitants of Nathan W. Pyle's
colourful world. In this eagerly awaited sequel, Nathan takes us
back to his charming and instantly recognisable planet coloured in
bright pinks, blues, greens, and purples, providing more escapades,
jokes and p h r a s e s. Nathan mixes his most popular Instagram
comics with more than thirty original works created exclusively for
this second volume to explore four major topics: traditions,
nature, emotions, and knowledge. He inducts new and longtime fans
into a strangely familiar world and its culture, from "cohesion"
(marriage) to "mild poison" (alcohol) to the full lyrics to "The
Small Eight-Legged Creature" (sung to the tune of The Itsy Bitsy
Spider). Bright, colourful, and whimsical - yet charmingly familiar
- Stranger Planet is out-of-this-world fun.
From New York Times #1 bestselling author, Nathan W. Pyle, comes an
out-of-this-world picture book about two aliens who encounter a
vibrating creature, based on his STRANGE PLANET series. Join
Strange Planet's lovable parent and child aliens as they embark on
a quest to understand the vibrating creature (that's a cat to us
humans) that is stalking around their house. As the aliens closely
observe the creature, they discover all their differences and what
they have in common. This paper-over-board picture book has all the
literal-minded charm of Nathan's previous books, and is written
with parents and kids in mind. It's perfect for playtime, bedtime,
or anytime!
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Strange Planet and
NYC Basic Tips and Ettiquette and Strange Planet comes 99 Stories I
Could Tell, a guided journal with 99 prompts plus a customizable
cover. Nathan Pyle takes journalers for a creative ride through the
pages of this product--each prompt comes with a mix of black lines
(solid boundaries to color) and blue lines (to trace and use as a
jumping off point for further imagination. The prompts move from
extremely suportive towards the start of the journal (giving the
journaler lots of structure so as not to intimidate them) to more
free-form , the idea being that the journaler's skills will
increase the more they progress. The prompts themselves are a
collection of inventive and humorous trips down memory lane,
helping journalers curate and draw their most prized recollections,
and also to unearth memories they didn't know they had (a lie you
were told as a child that you believed until recently, or the first
fictional death you experienced). With a well-honed sensibility for
what shares well online and what people are searching for, each of
the 99 stories has been chosen because it prompts emotional
resonance and will be content people will be excited to share on
their social media. The prompts can also be mixed and matched to
create all new narratives, the way musical notes can be lined up
differently to make new tunes. Package wise, this journal is a
large square, big enough to satisfy doodlers, but light enough to
easily fit in a backpack or totebag. The book's jacket is a
silk-screened PVC case which adds to the nostalgic feel
(reminiscent of a toy); the jacket is also removeable to reveal an
uncoated cover where journalers can embellish the design in their
own way, making each and every journal totally customizable.
