Museum of Mistakes: The Fart Party Collection

Collecting the complete run of Julia Wertz's autobiographical Fart Party comics, this 2014 volume from Atomic Book Company brings together the raw, funny, and painfully honest diary strips she originally published online and in small-press zines. A defining work of early 2000s alt-comics memoir, Wertz's unflinching self-portraiture captures the messy realities of young adulthood, from dead-end jobs to hangovers to the quiet moments of everyday life. This single-issue collection preserves a cornerstone of the confessional webcomic era, showcasing the deadpan humor and unvarnished vulnerability that made Wertz a cult favorite.
