That Was Awkward by Emily Flake
We've all been there. You encounter your former colleague. Your ex-boyfriend's sister. The school classmate whose name you don't quite remember. Do you shake hands? Do you hug? Do you - horrors - kiss on the cheek? And then it happens. The awkward hug. That cultural blight we ve all experienced. Emily Flake - keen observer of human behaviour - codifies the most common awkward hugs that have plagued us all. Filled with laugh-out-loud anecdotes and illustrations, astute observations, and wise advice, That Was Awkward is a heart-warming reminder that we're all in this together.
Emily Flake's cartoons and humorous essays run regularly in The New Yorker, The Nib, and many other publications. Her weekly strip, Lulu Eightball, ran in alt-weeklies for many years. She's written and illustrated two books: These Things Ain't Gonna Smoke Themselves and Mama Tried. Her illustrations and cartoons appear in publications all over the world, including the New York Times, Newsweek, the Globe and Mail, The Onion, The New Statesman, and Forbes. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband, daughter, and a frail, elderly orange cat.
