Stranger Planet - Nathan W. Pyle (Morrow Gift - June 2020)

Series: Strange Planet (Book 2)

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.

I loved the second volume of this series just as much as the first one. I especially enjoyed the panels that dealt with the pets, recognizing both the aloofness of the cat and joyousness of the dog. I also liked the literal versions of well-known songs. I look forward to seeing new panels posted online.
