A delightful graphic memoir told in photographs.
Ype is a gay man living in Amsterdam with his boyfriend Nico. When asked by Nico to accompany him on a work trip to America, Ype must confront his deep fear of flying. While doing so, Ype finds he also has to come to terms with his social and sexual anxieties, his neurotic nature, and a serious case of imposter syndrome. What follows is a moving and deeply personal story, filled with humor as well as drama —surprising, honest, and unforgettable. Ype embarks on an adventure that leads him to his ultimate fantasy: being the last person on earth. Encouraged by a sentient robot vacuum cleaner called Chupi, he finds out what it really means to be true to yourself.
“A witty fotonovela memoir sprinkled with flights of fancy. . . . It's both a frank and funny slice of life and a fresh take on comics autobiography.” —Publishers Weekly
“A great reminder to live our honest truths, even if that means sitting on the sidelines and cheering rather than playing in someone else's game.” —Shelby Criswell, author of Queer As All Get Out
“A funny and endearing adventure about daily partnered life, insecurities, and overcoming self-policing queerness.”—Gabriel Ebensperger, author of Gay Giant
“This is queer comics at its most artful and engaging. Funny, inventive, and heartfelt, building masterfully to a delightful conclusion." —Justin Hall, editor of No Straight Lines: Four Decades of Queer Comics
