Welcome to Litsy!

5⭐️

I had such a blast reading this! The numbers are a little dated on it because it's from 2015 but like the book said, since the system hasn't really changed since the mid-1900s, the information is still really good. This book is part autobiography about the author's time as a garbage man and part educating the public on the importance of waste services. I really appreciated the art style and the sense of humor throughout this entire thing.

My last read before the end of #24B4Monday. It's about the author's time working as a trash collector, but also a history lesson about garbage and some seriously terrifying statistics about the amount of trash created by Americans. The humor is coal black, and a bit depressing, but overall a solid read. 4 💥💥💥💥 out of 5.

Finished with 24 hrs, 55 minutes, 17 seconds.

I was really looking forward to this as I loved Backderf's "My Friend Dahmer". The banter between the various city employees, as well as a sense of career futility, called to mind Kevin Smith's "Clerks" (minus the self-loathing). Informative digressions on the history of trash & how it has become a profitable industry made this really stand out.

Graphic novel about garbage collection anyone? And my beloved Carol Burnett...for those who are old enough to remember. #emojimadness @Tiffy_Reads @JoeStalksBeck

This graphic novel recommendation made me giggle when I saw it today!!!! Anybody read this one? “An ode to the crap job of all crap jobs.”😂😂

I really liked the art and the garbage facts were absolutely fascinating but the story got pretty repetitive and I found it a little dull. I‘m intrigued to try his other better known title, My Friend Dahmer.

Extremely informative and somewhat terrifying book that I ended up not "liking" a ton although I think it's quite good. The topic and artistic style were both effectively gross to me, which I appreciated, but this also made me dread returning to it a bit.

Happy #thanksgiving ?? This book is making me #thankful for my garbage collectors & sanitation workers

Nice quick history of recent trash collection #graphicnovels

I picked up this at the comic book shop at the mall. I am enjoying it so far, I'm about 60% done. I went ahead and bought another of his graphic novels, "My Friend Dahmer" because this one is so enjoyable. #graphicnovels #comics #sliceoflife #humor

I'm sure I make this face on the daily. 😂 #muchlove #marchmadness

Welp, not sure I'll be finishing my falafel now. Not recommended as dinner break reading. 😖

An Ode to the Crap Job of all Crap Jobs! Great graphic novel that makes you think anew about the trash you generate - and what you put out at the curb!

I like the concept, but the execution was really boring. It's part story, part informational book, and neither is really effective. I did learn a lot, but I was ultimately bored.
