Description
Behold the wisdom of Lord Birthday: a tiny mustachioed king who is as insightful as he is ridiculous. His bite-sized illustrations capture the inherent comedy of being human, and his guidance appeals to anyone who is striving against the odds, believing in both the absurdity and necessity of hope.
How to Appear Normal at Social Events is an oddly cheering book of illustrated lists. Largely based on Lord Birthday's popular Instagram account, the book offers excessively absurd, occasionally wise advice on topics ranging from finding your life's purpose to defending yourself against forest clowns. (Hint: Set an oatmeal trap.)

A Note From the Publisher

Let it be known and I think it is significant that this is my first read of 2018.
This is a light, funny read with humorous pictures to accompany. If you're looking for something profound, look elsewhere. But if you're looking for a quick, easy, sarcastic read, this would be a good choice.
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

Lord Birthday is the tiny mustachioed-king who is here to help us live our lives. Well, sort of. In the new book of Lord Birthday cartoons, How to Appear Normal at Social Events, readers get a chance to view some illustrated advice. Whether this advice is actually helpful or wise is entirely up to the reader.
My personal favorite was a diagram entitled "Do You Have Anxiety." While meant as a joke, some of the behaviors have actually occurred among myself and my less social friends. There are also gems such as "8 Ways to Escape a Painful Conversation" and "Romantic Nicknames You Can Call Your Lover." If you don't take things too seriously, this book is laugh out loud funny. Just don't go looking too deeply for meaning in this one.
Lord Birthday's How to Appear Normal at Social Events is available March 6, 2018 from Andrews McMeel Publishing.
