"Top tier, pure cartooning here, collected finally for your corporeal enjoyment. Phil Elverum is one of the great North American poets, his musings on the natural world are some of the finest produced in the past century. The first time I met Phil he took my copy of his album ‘Song Islands’ by The Microphones and graffitied it into “Dong Islands by Micropenis”. I immediately knew that in addition to being a very serious writer of cosmic musings he was also one of the funniest comedy men on the planet."
- Simon Hanselmann, New York Times Bestselling cartoonist.
Fancy People Adventures is an underground comics zine published intermittently in very low print runs from around 1998 to present. It's mostly been by Phil Elverum, but originally the zine had a very loose open door policy for both contributors and contributed jokes. It's mostly actual documentation of overheard idiocy. Anthropological. "Fancy" in Fancy People does not mean what you think it means. They're humor? They're free jazz tone poems. They're somebody's cup of tea. They're your exact style.
