and if you enjoyed the short WNYC talk, maybe you'll enjoy this longer one with @sktchd.bsky.social in which I'm slightly less composed and spend far too long talking about how all kids have dirty buttholes. whoops! (this is on youtube as well if you prefer video)
Just finished reading this. I cried!!!! Really great and thoughtful insights about parenthood.. a lot of panels gave me feelings of great relief, thinking “thank God I’m not the only one who does this.” Definitely will be reading this one over and over.
while in New York last week for the release of Bury Me Already, I was on @allofitwnyc.bsky.social on @wnyc.org! you can listen to it here, and if you make it to the end, you'll even hear me cry just a tiny bit when Alison Stewart asked me about The End page in the book. www.wnyc.org/story/cartoo...
Bury Me Already comes out next week and some people said some nice things about it if you need some extra convincing to check it out. Here are some screengrabs from Publisher's Weekly, KQED and the AV Club. And if you're in NYC, come see me next week!! event details at juliawertz.com/events
I got sick of all the pregnancy and postpartum content that start how this comic does but ended by telling me I should love my body bc the miracle of birth and blah blah blah, so I made this. It's an excerpt from Bury Me Already (It's Nice Down Here)

If you’re in NYC, come see me soon at Books are Magic and Rizzoli! (And check Juliawertz.com/events for Bay Area and LA stuff)
Now that One Piece has a live action version, I’ve been enjoying trolling my family by calling it “that pirate documentary”
Beware the Ides of March, or whatever other noteworthy day happens in March
Just saying
events for Bury Me Already (It's Nice Down Here) start next month! come on out and say hi!
My “love-language” is borderline negging, but from a place of affection. It is not a recommended language for those who take themselves seriously. I fully understand that I am a ridiculous person, and I expect my loved ones to treat me accordingly
parental faux pas of the highest degree
I designed five exclusive postcards that you can have for freeeee if you preorder Bury Me Already (It's Nice Down Here) (or if you already preordered, you can put your receipt info into this page and get them!) www.hachettebookgroup.com/landing-page...
I make no promises
Love to hear it’s in a book club!!
Currently reading Impossible People: A Completely Average Recovery Story by @juliawertz.bsky.social for book club.

Wait till you hear what he thinks the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody are
I'm just gonna...leave this here...for your consideration (via facebook marketplace)
Cool stuff, buddy, keep it up, we’ve only got about an hour left
Julia's last book made me realize I had been functioning through lowgrade depression for a number of years (complimentary).
After working on a new book for the last 5 to 100 years or so, it’s finally done and it’s (almost) here! Bury Me Already (It’s Nice Down Here) comes out on April 14th 2026, but you can preorder it now. Save your receipt because preorders comes with a special gift! tinyurl.com/3jbs83s7
In case you’re looking for a fresh new catchphrase. I’ll post more overheards later but this one from last year stands alone
A page from Impossible People about when I used to volunteer at a charity kitchen in Greenpoint (circa 2011-2012)
11th hour posting about comic con- but if you’re still here -but get signed copies of Tenements and Impossible People at Hachette Books table 1118!!
It’s creek season! I need some advice. (But first a comic from 2018 that my brother still razzes me about but I think is completely acceptable) I’m looking for water shoes w/ tread, durability & can be worn for light hiking and rock and tree scramblin’
Happy we have been an early witness to such greatness. Also happy my ancient car got us there in one piece.
I, hopeful fool
When pressed for more information, he simply stated, “you know, John Cena!” Okay, sure.
(More new comics this week on Patreon)
Napa library tomorrow! Panel from 10-11 and tabling 11-1!
One of my favorite then/now from Tenements, Towers & Trash because not much has really changed? The 1910 one has broadway show posters, coke ads, clothing shops and food in the storefronts. 2015 is basically the same (conceptually) except no food shops, and everything is uglier
