Description

From the lofts of New York City to the traffic jams of LA and beyond - Emmet Truxes's cartoons brilliantly poke fun at our hobbies and misfortunes in a vein similar to that of the New Yorker. Featuring all-too-relatable depictions of millennial milestones and struggles (squeezing into cramped apartments, finding true love on dating apps, nailing the perfect selfie), You Look Better Online is full of self-deprecating good fun for anyone obsessed with their smartphone. You Look Better Online does what only the best cartoons can: it gently chides its audience while insightfully and accurately depicting their lives.
