Synopsis

This is veteran cartoonist Hollander's first long-form work; her coming-of-age story, starring the gangsters, the glamorous, the bed bugs, the (enviable) Catholic girls, the police, the jukebox, the fortune teller, and the blue Hudson--the family car, always at the ready for frequent drives into better neighborhoods. Not only does this illustrated memoir give insight into how Hollander developed her style and wit, it's a chronicle of a Chicago community that has since disappeared into an expressway.

Review:

Get comfortable, because you're not going to be able to put this book down until you've finished it.--Alison Bechdel

Nicole Hollander's cartoons are always spot on politically and of course, quite funny. She is in a league of her own.

Wonder Bread, offers a full-color answer.

We Ate Wonder Bread is a hilarious, heartfelt excavation of a lost Chicago, as well as a perfect introduction to Hollander's trademark wit and style.
