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.
