The Wendy Award

"Wendy and her pal Screamo are two of my favorite characters in all of Cartoondom. Wendy in particular is a Rube Goldberg machine of terrible decisions. She cannot and will not take the steps necessary to be a 'success' in the art world, or maybe any world. Engaging, profound, and funny." --Roz Chast "Walter Scott has constructed a universe that reflects and distorts our culture with scathing precision. Hysterically funny while always insistent on hope--Wendy is an icon of modern longing." --Kate Berlant "The Wendy Award is as funny and incisive as the rest of the series while capturing a distinctly post-2020 sense of isolation like nothing I've seen or read. Scott has a gift for finding grace in absurdity." --Tavi Gevinson "Remarkable... a story of personal dissolution, betrayed friendship, and tentative recovery with a hefty cast of rich characters, but it's almost purely comedic, drawn in a deliberately simple near-scrawl." --Sam Thielman, The New York Times "Brilliant and painfully funny... Wendy is the authentic voice of a bewildered generation." --Rachel Cooke, The Guardian
