Merrill Markoe got all the talent. In addition to being an Emmyaward winning comedy writer, she's also a topnotch artist. We Saw Scenery is revealing, sad, funny, and, above all, relatable. Merrill captures the experience of a young woman findingand holding ontoher own voice. And were all lucky she did. Nell Scovell, author of Just the Funny PartsIn her firstever graphic memoir, fourtime Emmywinning comedy writer Merrill Markoe unearths her treasured diaries, long kept under lock and key, to illustrate the hilarious story of her preteen and teen years and how she came to realize that her secret power was her humor. Wielding her layered and comically absurd style, Markoe takes readers back through her time as a Girl Scout, where she learned that scouting was really more about learning housewifery skills, to her earliest crushes on uniquely awful boys and her growing obsession with television.Much has changed in our world since Markoe wrote in her diaries, or has it? Climate change wasnt yet a rallying call, but the growing hole in the ozone preoccupied Markoes young mind. No one was flocking to the desert for Burning Man, but Markoe readily partook in the Ken Kesey Acid Test. As she charts the divide between her adolescence and adulthood, Markoe questions and berates her younger self, revealing how much is opaque to us in those young years.Perfect for fans of Roz Chast, Allie Brosh, and Lynda Barry, We Saw Scenery is a laughoutloud story of a girl growing up, told from the perspective of the woman she became, and it will speak to all who wanted to understand themselves in the midst of their own maturing.
