Pyle, Strange Planet is an adorable and profound universe in pink, blue, green, and purple, based on the phenomenally popular Instagram of the same name!

I feel more attractive. Honestly, you are. It’s the star damage. I CRAVE STAR DAMAGE.

Review:

I've been following Nathan W Pyle on Twitter for a while now, after discovering these Strange Planet comics. I pre-ordered the book pretty early on.
These comics are so funny and so cute. I love the perspective of looking at the human world from an alien perspective, describing things in much more real terms that we don't think of anymore. They're very real sometimes, too, in their honesty and portrayal.
There are some new comics in this collection, as well as the loved ones posted online. It's a very nice hardback, with pretty comics on the inside covers and organized in an interesting way.
If you like fun comic strips and humor books, I definitely recommend picking this one up.
