Below Ambition [Paperback]

Megg and Werewolf Jones are Horse Mania. Horse Mania is a test of the audiences patience, proudly the worst band in town, without any ambition to make it. Join the musicians as they battle through shoddy, distracted practice sessions, a squalid house show, and a doomed interstate tour. Watch as they drunkenly flail through their sets amidst toothaches, nervous breakdowns, suicide attempts, mounting hatred, and a galaxy of benzos. This is music and performance in its most primal, multifaceted, and pure form. Feel the tension. See the dirty looks. Taste the pain. Smell the depravity. Hear the veiled beauty. Horse Mania wants you to lose your mind.Following Simon Hanselmanns 2021 smash hit graphic novel Hanselmann proves the perfect author to capture American life in late 2020. [ Hanselmann may be the funniest cartoonist working today, writing and illustrating comics that revel in a comedy of cruelty. Astoundingly well-crafted and punishingly heartfelt. Hanselmann is one of the most gifted cartoonists alive.
