When the book opens, aspiring artist Wendy has decided to move to the west coast to clear her head. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShe plans on getting some quality time with her collaborator and friend Winona, only to find Winona packing up to leave, having decided to move back in with her mom on the rez. All alone, \u003ci\u003eWendy\u003c\/i\u003e endeavours to foster community in Vancouver's bleak art scene. When her hope and optimism are all used up, she packs her bags for an artist residency in Japan. Wendy then gallery hops and parties around the globe until she stumbles upon the opportunity to unite with former foe Paloma. Together they enact revenge on \u003ci\u003eVVURST\u003c\/i\u003e, the German publication that once tore her performance art to shreds. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYoung artists struggle with mental health issues, they get wasted and hook up with men with gross piercings, and they're afflicted with an insatiable longing for a stable identity--stability they themselves undermine. Scott's deceptively simple, inky character drawings evoke millennial culture with such Jungian accuracy that you can't help but stare and giggle in equal measure. Praised by \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGlobe and Mail\u003c\/i\u003e, and with an appearance in the \u003ci\u003eBest American Comics\u003c\/i\u003e anthology, it's clear why Walter Scott's \u003ci\u003eWendy \u003c\/i\u003ecomics have taken critics by storm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWalter Scott is an interdisciplinary artist working in comics, drawing, video, performance, and sculpture.
