Museum Of Mistakes: Definitive Fart Party Collection

By Julia Wertz. Published by Uncivilised Books.

Softcover, 528 pages, B&W, 2023

For almost two decades, Julia Wertz has been documenting her life’s most intimate, absurd, and amusing moments through a whimsical and hilarious diary comic book called The Fart Party. Wertz retells childhood antics that end in scars and swears. She tracks, in real-time, her young adulthood as she forgets her college graduation, travels cross country via train, and drinks her way through a harsh break-up.

After receiving much acclaim (and controversy), The Fart Party became a series of self-published mini-comics, eventually collected into two volumes, published by Atomic Books. Long out of print, Museum of Mistakes collects anything and everything that is The Fart Party. PLUS: numerous pages of Julia’s early comic work, unpublished and previously uncollected comics, short stories, illustrations, process pages, hate mail, sketchbook pages, tear stains, and more.

This massive tome begs the question, "what is a Fart Party?" And the answer is... you’ll have to read to find out!
