A razor-sharp collection from the acclaimed New Yorker cartoonist and Instagram sensation whom Vulture recently called “a remarkable young talent”

With her trademark, scratchy style and keen eye for the absurd, Liana Finck has amassed a large, devoted following who love the deeply insightful, delightfully odd way she describes how we all experience the world.

Excuse Me assembles more than 500 of her most loved cartoons from Instagram and The New Yorker over the past few years, in such distinctive chapters as: Love & Dating; Gender & Other Politics; Animals; Art & Myth-Making; Humanity; Time, Space, and How to Navigate Them; Strangeness, Shyness, Sadness; and Notes to Self.

Melancholy and hilarious, relatable and surreal, intensely personal yet surprisingly universal, Excuse Me brings together the best work so far by one of the most talented young comics artists working today.
PRAISE FOR LIANA FINCK

“Wonderfully intimate.”—The New York Times

“Finck’s whimsy acts as a microscope to better understand family, romance, and isolation.”—Publishers Weekly

“No one draws like Liana Finck, and no one enchants like her either.”—Stacey Schiff

“About love, family, creativity and the quest for selfhood – in other words, with stuff that concerns us all.”—The Guardian

“[A] lightning bolt sensibility.”—Nylon

“Achingly beautiful.”—Cup of Jo
