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.
Based on the phenomenally popular Instagram comic, a hilariously perceptive and hugely addictive look at an alien world not unlike our own

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.
The curiously relatable inhabitants of Nathan W. Pyle's New York Times bestselling phenomenon Strange Planet are at it once again!
Illustrated with art from the Strange Planet collections, Nathan W. Pyle's guided journal takes a fresh, self-reflective look at the behaviour that makes us human.
Strange Planet: Existence Chronicle explores favourite themes from the Strange Planet social media stream and books, including emotions, recreation, and cultural traditions. Filled with prompts from the Strange Planet universe, and showcasing the signature characters in pastel hues of pink, blue, green, and purple, this guided journal can help fans explore and better understand the "strange planet" they inhabit.
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!
