Oh hi, if you&#8217;ve never read this series, Suzanne overhears conversations that are utterly ridiculous\/offensive\/hilarious and then draws them for our\/her amusement. I think maybe she also takes conversations that other people overhear, but I&#8217;m not positive about that. Anyway, I know it would ruin what she&#8217;s trying to do here if she put herself in these stories, but I kept picturing her with a sketchpad under a bridge here, sitting at a movie theater there, or overhearing a weird conversation in her neighborhood in another spot. Utterly irrelevant to the content, sure, but once I started thinking about it I just couldn&#8217;t stop. Topics in this volume include (and if you haven&#8217;t already been won over by that cover I don&#8217;t know how to convince you to give this a shot) taking a picture of your own home, theft and misuse of a garbage bin, a bar and a funny hat, keeping your eyebrows groomed, misunderstanding support from your wife for an actual funny joke, kicking some guy in the face, the time sequence of personal injuries, getting a padded bra, upholstery, a sighting at a gay bar, being too intimidated to go into a bar wearing a t-shirt, a fantastic conversation on a bridge, reading cartoons, an Armenian discount and a sword fight. Again, these are stories that Suzanne overheard, not stories that have anything to do with her. It&#8217;s funny as usual and her art is still fantastic, so what&#8217;s the argument against checking this out again? $2<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/aseavesdropped42.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-21914\" alt=\"aseavesdropped42\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/aseavesdropped42-293x300.jpg\" width=\"293\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/aseavesdropped42-293x300.jpg 293w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/aseavesdropped42-1000x1024.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/aseavesdropped42-244x250.jpg 244w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/aseavesdropped42-170x175.jpg 170w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/aseavesdropped42-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/aseavesdropped42-209x215.jpg 209w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/aseavesdropped42.jpg 1091w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 293px) 100vw, 293px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website As Eavesdropped #4 This time around I decided to try and figure out where Suzanne was when she overheard these conversations, because there are some real doozies.
