PRODUCT INFORMATION

Summary

Megg and Mogg return for a third stoner odyssey, confirming Simon Hanselmann as a modern great

Description

The characters are imbued with far more pathos and depth than seems plausible given the stock comic premise - drugged-out, slacker roommates. One More Year continues to give substance to the characters and personalities of its protagonists in ways that never fail to surprise, delight, and horrify.

Critic Reviews

“"These are simultaneously some of the meanest and most tender comics you will ever read."”

Hanselmann succeeds not only in pursuing cringe humor to its darkest corner but also in his depiction of hallucinatory states--expect plenty of dripping appendages and faces, along with wild and wide-ranging color schemes.-- "Omnivoracious"
In this latest edition we certainly get more of what drew us to Hanselmann's stories in the first place: the exquisite, teeth-clenching art; the barrage of gross-out humor with scattered moments of poignancy and beauty; an oppressive backdrop that captures the soul-crushing pressure of just being alive. But we also get something new.-- "Under the Radar"
It's signature Hanselmann: a tale of friends and their endlessly f--ed up antics.-- "The Fader"
One More Year is an astoundingly well-crafted and punishingly heartfelt depiction of mental illness and codependence, one that also manages to make you laugh uncomfortably at the horrible decisions made by the characters you're watching.-- "Vulture"
One More Year is mean-spirited, cynical, bitterly depressing, and vulgar in the extreme. But it's in that junkyard of a world that Hanselmann manages to coax up a truly compelling and flawed transfeminine character.-- "Medium"
Readers struggling with their own demons will find this anthology chillingly real.-- "Publishers Weekly"
These are simultaneously some of the meanest and most tender comics you will ever read.-- "Seattle Weekly"
