Product Information
"Merrill Markoe got all the talent. In addition to being an Emmy-award winning comedy writer, she's also a top-notch artist. We Saw Scenery is revealing, sad, funny, and, above all, relatable. Merrill captures the experience of a young woman finding--and holding onto--her own voice. And we're all lucky she did." --Nell Scovell, author of Just the Funny Parts In her first-ever graphic memoir, four-time Emmy-winning 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 wasn't yet a rallying call, but the growing hole in the ozone preoccupied Markoe's 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 laugh-out-loud 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.

"In We Saw Scenery , you'll learn that you weren't the only one who would learn, painfully, that sarcasm--via Mad Magazine --was not the best tool for seduction. You'll find out you weren't the only person who'd buy tickets for a hip event--and then want to leave early. It's gratifying to see teenage Merrill grow her armor--a subversive attitude--that will see her through, despite everything, and you just want to cheer her on. Merrill Markoe's visual and written analyses of her childhood diaries are acute, devastating, and hilarious. You should buy this book!" -- Mimi Pond, author of The Customer is Always Wrong "Everything Merrill Markoe writes is a must-read, but We Saw Scenery is particularly essential, because besides being a hilarious, poignant and perceptive portrait of a comedy writer as a young woman, it showcases an overlooked facet of one of our most important artistic voices. Markoe has always been singularly gifted at finding oddball, deadpan humor in the idiosyncrasies of language, but what's less well known is her background as an artist. This delightful graphic memoir, rooted in her early diaries, pairs whimsical, evocative drawings with her razor sharp prose. It's an absolutely delightful marriage." -- Jason Zinoman, author of Letterman: The Last Giant of Late Night "Merrill Markoe got all the talent. In addition to being an Emmy-award winning comedy writer, she's also a top-notch artist. We Saw Scenery is revealing, sad, funny, and, above all, relatable. Merrill captures the experience of a young woman finding--and holding onto--her own voice. And we're all lucky she did." -- Nell Scovell, author of Just the Funny Parts, "Markoe's bold, sometimes absurdist drawings and the often chiding conversations she imagines between her mature and adolescent selves enhance the comedy at the heart of this thought-provoking story about what happens when the wisdom of age confronts the follies and foibles of youth . . . A memoir that is both relatable and subversive." -- Kirkus Reviews "In We Saw Scenery , you'll learn that you weren't the only one who would learn, painfully, that sarcasm--via Mad Magazine --was not the best tool for seduction.
