1st printing. Written by Steven T. Seagle. Art by Mads Ellegard Skovbakke, Emei Olivia Burell, Tina Burholt, Patricia Amalie Eckerle, Christopher Hammer, Andrada-Aurora Hansen, Rebekka Davidsen Hestbaek, Hope Hjort, Angelica Inigo Jorgensen, Bob Lundgreen Kristiansen, Silja Lin, and Sim Mau. Cover by Mads Ellegard Skovbakke.

In the spirit of essayist David Sedaris and monologist Spalding Grey, SEAGLE and 19 emerging global cartoonists take drawn storytelling into the world of the "graphic essay." 19 stories of global attitudes about the naked body balance raw comedy, raw emotions, and raw cartooning. SEAGLE honestly chronicles his place as an undressed metaphorical fish out of water on different continents-from not recognizing a famous naked celeb in Hollywood to being naked and eaten by actual fish in Tokyo.
