About The Cruising Diaries: Expanded Edition
Review "Hilarious, ridiculous, way-too-real stories of sex on the fly... Janelle Hessig's outrageous comics are the, um, icing on this creampie, one last laugh when you thought you were tapped. This little book is a classic” --Michelle Tea, Rent Girl "The Cruising Diaries should be obligatory reading in every elementary school. Since I'm guessing that won't happen; BUY THIS BOOK. The stories will make you laugh out loud every time you read them" --Kathleen Hanna, musician, Bikini Kill, Le Tigre, The Julie Ruin Product Description The Cruising Diaries is a queer coming of age memoir that's not for the faint of heart. Follow author and musician Brontez Purnell on a series of hilarious sexual misadventures through '00s Oakland. Outrageous tales of taco truck trysts and bathhouse Santas are accompanied by full-color illustrations in this glorious expanded edition.

Janelle Hessig is a Bay Area writer, cartoonist, and humorist, best known for her contributions to small press and punk communities. Janelle's Tales of Blarg helped define east bay punk fanzines in the '90s and beyond. Cartoonist, animator, writer, riot grrrl muse, and one-woman laff factory, Janelle's work can be found in subversive materials hidden under your mattress or scotch taped to your shitty teenage bedroom wall. She's been a touring drummer, journalist, and the marketing director for Last Gasp. Her work has appeared on punk flyers and record covers since the beginning of time.
