-Descripcion Original:

Nick Galifianakis provides a cynical, yet hilarious take on the ups and downs of love, relationships and pets. Zach Galifianakis, start of The Hangover, will provide the foreword. Everyone knows the only thing more painful than relationships is not having them--or is it the other way around? Whatever, says author and cartoonist Nick Galifianakis. In his first book, If You Loved Me, Youd Think This Was Cute: Uncomfortably True Cartoons About You, he makes the case that either way, the only recourse is to embrace our frailties and laugh. Taken from Carolyn Haxs nationally syndicated advice column, this compilation spins the pain of dating, mothers-in-law, beneficial friends and more into ... the pain of self-recognition. The intricately drawn pen-and-ink panels and pointed captions explore some of lifes most uncomfortable truths, exposing the humanity in our mistakes, the underbelly of our triumphs and the sheer heroism of trying and trying again. Throughout this character study of men and women (and the dogs who love them), Galifianakis mines our hopes and insecurities for a unifying truth: If we cant laugh at ourselves, hell do it for us. Nick snuck me into my first comedy club when I was only a back-acned teenager. The back acne went away but the comedy stuck. I know that last sentence sounds like a lyric from a Joan Baez song, but trust me, its original. --Zach Galifianakis, from the foreword Nicks cartoons are funny, witty, and smart. But what makes them so special are how universal and true they are, making the laughs they bring all the more poignant. Relationships, in all their glory, have never been captured quite so succinctly and with such charm. --Amy B. Harris, writer/producer for Sex and the City Nick Galifianakis understands relationships unbelievably well, for a guy. My guess is he actually menstruates. --Gene Weingarten, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, Washington Post humor columnist About the Author Nick Galifianakis is an American cartoonist whose work is nationally recognized alongside the must-read advice column by Carolyn Hax.
