  <default_description>Collecting comics from Julia's acclaimed and controversial web comic and zine, fartparty.org and The Fart Party.

The foul-mouthed and hilarious stories here follow the life of Julia, a twentysomething woman living in San Francisco.

Includes an introduction by Peter Bagge.


'If you're wondering what it's like to be a smart, self-aware young woman living in San Francisco in 2006, Wertz's comic has all the answers.' -THE ONION


'When I saw the title of (Wertz's zine, I didn't expect much beyond raunchy toilet humor, so what I found inside was all the more surprising! Julia's drawings are awesome and her comic timing is perfect... underneath all the drunken craziness, there's a secret heart to the comic that is warm, and dare I say, innocent.' - JOHN PORCELLINO (King-Cat)</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I just borrowed thisone from Nat.  I had asked him for a recomendation cause I am trying to get more into graphic novels.  I have a really short attention span, and I figured it would be a good move.  Unfortunately, I didn't think it was funny or even that interesting, BUT i was definitely correct i...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/33196476">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It was so good to get the whole story and the chronological sequence, after reading a few panels here and there, online and as minis.  <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/search/search?q= Julia Wertz" title=" Julia Wertz"> Julia Wertz</a> is funny, sad, mean, and crass.

    <body><![CDATA[Yeah she's my friend so I'm biased. So what? Julia's comics are hilarious, with perfect timing and wit. The book collects her first few years of the Fart Party (she explains the name in the book) and can go from crude and side splitting to downright touching from one page to another.

    <body><![CDATA[Like Jeffrey Brown's stuff, except funnier.  Rather than a lame-ass fat white boy whining about an annoying girl, Wertz is a sarcastic fat white girl semi-whining, semi-growling about a nerdy lame-ass white boy.  Best character = junkie brother.  Everyone has the same damn problems, I need to read t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/15717906">more...</a>]]></body>
