About The Book
Based on the successful McSweeney's column,Amongst the Liberal Elitetakes readers on a cross-country road trip with Alex and Michael, romantic partners whose voices will resonate with fans of shows such asPortlandia,Parks and Recreation,Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, andLast Week Tonight with John Oliver. The couple decides to use their tax refund to reconnect with their fellow Americans via a cross-country road trip and, more specifically, better understand how Trump won the election. In a quest to visit The World's Largest Frying Pan (of which there are six in the U.S.) Alex and Michael embark on a journey marked with personal and societal realizations. Arguments about topics ranging from mom-shaming to misogyny related to their pet cat, unsuccessful attempts at yoga meditations in small spaces, and anticlimactic touristic attractions that deepen their gloom about the nation, bring Alex and Michael clarity about what it means to resist.Amongst the Liberal Eliteis the political satire we've all been waiting for-one that offers comic relief from ourselves.

"Amongst the Liberal Eliteis the perfect gift for your spouse who doesn't appreciate the toll of emotional labor, for your in-laws who don't understand feminism, or for your coworker who is always using the office copier to run off flyers for an impromptu weekend march. Most importantly though, it's for anyone that needs a little comic relief from themselves."
– HumorWriters.org
"To be able to take a popular column made up of clever repartee and turn it into a graphic novel is quite remarkable. I can't stress enough what an ambitious task that is."
