I Hope This Helps: Comics and Cures for 21st Century Panic

Tommy Siegel’s writing is at once sweet, sarcastic, and hilarious - targeting specific aspects of pop culture while still appealing to a general audience. Through simple doodles and amusing characters, Tommy’s comics express endless amusement about our phone-obsessed modern society. This collection includes highlights from Tommy’s viral ‘500 Days of Comics’ project, along with three essays about the experience of being a creative person in the age of social media and how our phones are changing our brains and relationships. Tommy’s writing is as scathing as it is sincere, while always keeping a funny, lighthearted tone. This collection also introduces the Candy Hearts characters, a brilliant vehicle for expressing all the ways in which romantic couples are not always on the same page. A must for comics-lovers of all ages and backgrounds.
