In this eagerly awaited sequel, Nathan takes us back to his charming and instantly recognizable planet colored 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, colorful, and whimsical—yet charmingly familiar—Stranger Planet is out-of-this-world fun.
More funny cartoons set in an apparently alien world whose inhabitants go about their lives like we do, only talking about objects and actions in a more literal manner. Interesting how common day acts look and sound funnier when talked about in this way.
This was as good or better than the first one. I found I couldn’t read too many at once or they lost their impact. Also, the quality carries wildly, but the best ones are VERY good, so I’d still highly recommend it. The best ones for me are relevant to my own life (about parenthood or introspective existentialism, mostly), so it may be that which ones are funniest varies from person to person.
