"Where would you get naked? In the spirit of essayist David Sedaris and the sardonic travel monologues of Spalding Grey, comic writer Steven T. Seagle ... turns his eye to a new form--the graphic essay. Nineteen emerging global cartoonists journey through Seagle's personal observations of global attitudes about nudeness. Balancing raw comedy, raw emotions, and raw cartooning, the essays honestly chronicle Seagle's place as an undressed, metaphorical fish out of water on different continents--from not recognizing a famous unclothed celebrity in Hollywood, to finding himself nude on the roof of a Berlin high-rise, to being eaten by literal fish in Tokyo. In a country obsessed with covering up, it's time for graphic essays to get naked."--Page 4 of cover.
