Still goes hard; still both very funny and genuinely affecting. ( )

How about that cover, huh? “Your Black Friend and other Strangers” is a series of comic shorts that center around race as depicted through the trippy lens of a 21st-Century punk. One comic takes place in a coffee shop, as a black friend observes the interaction of a an oblivious customer and a barista. Another story follows two black punks who are harassed by a nasty cop until the tables are gruesomely turned.

I loved this odd little collection. There were frequent spelling and grammar errors (some that were clearly on purpose and others that were clearly not) but the art and the commentary made it worth ignoring. ( )

Passmore has been one of my favorite artists featured in The Nib, so it was awesome to read a collection of his work. Recommended if you want some punk rock discussion on racism and white supremacy while also laughing your ass off. ( )

the title story and "It's Not About You" are must-reads but the whole book is great and beautiful ( )

Several of the strips are genius in poking fun at mainstream society. Other strips are outside this world. ( )
