She lives in Massachusetts with her two cats, Wolfman and Dracula.Ĭustomers who bought this item also bought. She is a regular columist for Razorcake magazine, has drawn covers and stories for the wildly popular Adventure Time comics series, and is the creator of the web comic Alone Forever. Liz Prince is the Ignatz Award-winning author of Will You Still Love Me If I Wet the Bed? (Top Shelf Productions, 2005), the world's cutest relationship comic. From staunchly refuting girliness to the point of misogyny, to discovering through the punk community that your identity is whatever you make of it, Tomboy offers a sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking account of self-discovery in modern America. Tomboy follows award-winning author and artist Liz Prince through her early years and explores-with humor, honesty, and poignancy-what it means to be a girl. But with the forces of middle school, high school, parents, friendship, and romance pulling her this way and that, the middle wasn't an easy place to be. Growing up, Liz Prince wasn't a girly girl, but she wasn't exactly one of the guys either (as she learned when her little league baseball coach exiled her to the distant outfield).
