Hogbook and Lazer Eyes

Fans of Maria Bamford's acclaimed quasi-autobiographicalLady DynamiteNetflix series already know of her romance with LA painter Scott Marvel Cassidy, as well as her droll pug sidekicks Blueberry and Bert. Now the story has been recounted in this graphic novella written by Bamford/Cassidy, drawn by Cassidy, and narrated by the rescue dogs they've adopted.

Publisher Marketing: The book is a lovely, digression-filled expression of the couple's relationship, and their shared, hilarious love of candor.-- "The AV Club" Review Quotes : Comedian Bamford (of the streaming series Lady Dynamite ) and her husband, artist Scott Cassidy, sketch out their life together in a series of wry, pug-centric vignettes... Cassidy has a knack for bringing the animals and their spaces to life.-- "Publishers Weekly" Review Quotes : There's a lot that's more or less about Hogbook and Lazer Eyes -- it's more or less narrative, more or less experimental, more or less autobiographical, more or less ironic, more or less perfect.-- "Artillery" Review Quotes : A glimmer of hope... the [graphic] novel tackles major topics in a lighthearted, colorful, and careful way.--Ingrid Cruz "Latina Media Co" Brief Description : Newly single fortysomethings Maria Bamford and Scott Cassidy each signed up on the dating site OkCupid, under the respective usernames "Hogbook" and "Lazer Eyes." They went on a date, and then another, and soon, despite a history of Bipolar II disorder and unhealthy relationships for each of them, they fell in love and were married in 2015. We view all of this through the prism of their pug housemates, including Blueberry and Bert (who has an unnatural obsession with Michael Flatley of "Riverdance" fame), and the elderly bonded pair Betty and Arnold (who recount their star turn as interplanetary canine scientists in the second season of Lady Dynamite).
