The Last Girlfriend on Earth
It doesn’t matter if you’re a caveman, a time traveller or a regular person. Sooner or later, someone’s going to break your heart.
The sketches in Simon Rich’s new book are bizarre, funny, and if you’ve ever been in love, all too familiar. From the invisible man stalking his ex, to Sherlock Holmes’ only blind spot, The Last Girlfriend on Earth is always enchanting, often sweet, though occasionally awkward. Just like love itself.
