In
2004, Julia Wertz began a series of funny, irreverent
autobiographical comics she called “The Fart Party.” After
posting these comics online at fartparty.org to acclaim and
controversy. She eventually started collecting these comics as
self-published minis which found their way to Atomic Books in
Baltimore who thought they ought to be collected into a proper book
so as to garner Julia more laughs and hate mail.
As
these things go, the first volume was so successful, there was a
second volume. Both are out of print, but Museum of Mistakes collects
them into one book, plus numerous pages of Julia’s early comic
work, unpublished and/or previously uncollected comics, short
stories, illustrations, process pages, hate mail, sketchbook pages,
tear stains and more.
“The
Fart Party is friggin’ hilarious.” – New York Magazine
“Julia
is the funniest, most unique voice in comics right now.” – Brian
K. Vaughan
“If
you’re wondering what it’s like to be a smart, self-aware young
woman, Wertz’s comics have all the answers.” – The Onion
