A collection of cartoons with tongue-in-cheek commentary capturing quintessential truths of modern life
Emmet Truxes´s cartoons brilliantly poke fun at our modern preoccupations and misfortunes - like New Yorker cartoons for the next generation. Featuring all-too-relatable depictions of millennial milestones and struggles (squeezing into cramped apartments, finding true love on dating apps, nailing the perfect selfie), You Look Better Online is for anyone who´s ever narrowly avoided walking into traffic because they were looking at their smartphone. This book takes a humorous look at how becoming an adult intersects with the entrenchment of technology in our everyday lives; it cleverly and keenly observes and captures a moment in time.
Emmet Truxes , the mastermind behind @BrooklynCartoons, is all too familiar with the absurdities, hilarities, and idiosyncrasies of the millennial age. Raised in Connecticut, with degrees from both Princeton and Harvard, this architectural visionary-by-day is also an expert eavesdropper: from New York to Los Angeles, he stockpiles quintessential moments of the Snapchat generation and turns them into meme-ready cartoons.
