Description
Fungirl is a hapless (hopeless) hot mess of a woman crashing through life, leaving chaos in her wake.
Although her oblivious antics infuriate her roommate, terrify the teenage skaters she tries to impress, and threaten her every opportunity for employment, Fungirl remains charming, transgressive, and hilarious.
Pich's cartoonish comic art is simple and quirky, with clean lines and bold colors. The art transforms potentially graphic scenes of sex and violence into adorably cute, almost sweet, vignettes. Pich renders Fungirl's particular messiness deliciously palatable, like an inappropriate wedding cake.
"It's an outlandish romp past the boundaries of good taste and into dangerously revealing--and truly funny--psychic territory." - Publishers Weekly

Reviews
"Fungirl is a wacky trip through one impulsive act after another resulting in a cartoony, twisted world that I couldn't get enough of." - Archie Bongiovanni, author of A Quick & Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns and Grease Bats
"Awkward, biting, shameless, wildly improper, aroused, maybe even dangerous--these are just a few ways to describe Fungirl, the genial always outrageous protagonist of Pich's irresistibly trashy graphic novel." - Publishers Weekly
"Every shenanigan that she engages in seems crazy and over the top, but Fungirl's life somehow still remains tragically realistic and deeply relatable." - Manhattan Book Review
"No matter what wacky, exaggerated situation Fungirl finds herself in, it somehow still makes you say "I've been there, sister," though you'd deny it in polite company. She's everyone's most regrettable ex, but the one you got the best stories out of." - Kelsey Wroten, author of Cannonball
