Alone Forever Kindle & comiXology

4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 107 ratings

"Liz Prince, author of the world's cutest relationship comic, Will You Still Love Me If I Wet the Bed?, returns with a new comic about being -- gasp! -- SINGLE. At last bringing her popular webcomic to printed form, Alone Forever explores the joys of flying solo, free to focus on what really matters: comics, punk rock, and cute boys with beards.

Drawn in Liz Prince's ultra-charming style, filled with self-deprecation and cats, there's something for everyone to relate to in this celebration of self-reliance in the age of OkCupid.

It's the perfect gift for any friend! ...If you want that friend to immediately respond, "Wait, what are you saying?!"

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I have been a comic artist and a self-publisher since I was in high school in the mid-90's. In 2005 my book Will You Still Love Me If I Wet the Bed? was published by Top Shelf Productions; it won an Ignatz Award for Outstanding Debut. Top Shelf has since published two more of my autobio comic collections, Delayed Replays in 2008, and Alone Forever in 2014. In September of 2014 my first full length graphic novel, a memoir about adolescence and gender stereotypes called Tomboy, was published by Zest Books. I recently co-created a comic series for teens called Coady and The Creepies with the wonderful illustrator (Nation of) Amanda Kirk!

I have had comics published in numerous anthologies, drawn stories for the wildly popular Adventure Time series, and I am a columnist for the punk magazine Razorcake.

Currently my cat Dracula is sitting on my lap, and his sister Wolfman is giving him the side-eye.

Alone Forever  BOOK REVIEW!

Alone Forever BOOK REVIEW!
Anyone who has ever been single will understand how hard it is to find the right one. Some of us don't have trouble finding someone while some of us who are odd balls had a harder time.This book is written in a comic strip type of format and it follows Liz Prince and her Ok Cupid dating adventures as well as other dating excursions. Come with Liz on her many dates and watch as they fail over and over again in every comedic way possible.Thoughts: This is a book for someone with a since of humor and the reason I say that is because this book could be offensive to the light hearted. I liked this book and found it to be quite funny, I even found myself laughing out loud at Liz's shenanigans and the the awkward situations she got herself into.

Liz prince is a very funny and clever writer. This book though short is full or great relate-able stories and gags that anyone who's ever been single can understand.

I must admit that when I purchased this book I was hoping for a structured, single story line following Liz Prince's quest into a relationship in a similar fashion to what she masterfully crafted in her other book "Tomboy".
However, "Alone Forever" turned out to be more of a selection of different comics with one topic and in more-or-less chronological order. That difference in expectations would be my one and only "complain" (and I guess such complain would have been easily resolved if I knew the whole dictionary definition of "Collection" on the book title)

As for the rest, this book was wonderful! In her usual combination of laugh-out-loud humor and heart-wrenching moments she makes for a very personal and engaging telling of what is it like to be single when no partner seems to be "right" enough.

I loved this zine & it really hit home. She really captured how cats can save you when your going through a rough, lonely patch. I have to have all her books now but this one is so close to my life it will always be special.

Alone Forever is a short book containing a selection of auto-biographic self-deprecating comic strips by Liz Prince about her dating life, or lack of.

Liz is a bit of tomboy in ways of relating, always hanging out with boys, and dressing very boyish. Despite being taken for a lesbian often, she is very much straight and looking for love. She is bit neurotic, vengeful, confused, loving, loyal, funny, nerdy, and magnetically attracted to cute bearded guys wearing strange bands T-shirts. The comic strips depict how she relates to the opposite sex, how she flirts, and how she dates. My favourite pages are those devoted to the narration of the dates she got with guys she met through the dating site OK Cupid.

The drawing style is a bit sketchy, even childish, very charming, very e-zine or bloggish. Still, some of her images are really beautiful and great.The strips are very short, the longest occupies a page, so they vary in degrees of success at engaging the reader. I found myself reading out loud at some of the strips, or just feeling in love with the version of Liz that Liz has created for the reader. Others were just OK.

I recently read Jeff Brown's "Clumsy", and I found that Liz's and Jeff's have very similar books and ways of narrating. Although they are the flip side of the coin and of each other, they share the fact that they are not archetypal man and woman in their romantic relationships.

This is a very entertaining and engaging book, and I read it in a sitting. Once ends loving Liz and wishing her lots of love!

A work friend forwarded me this, asking if I had a secret alter-ego online... Needless to say, I knew I had to purchase it.

Liz Prince is hilarious: I both loved and commiserated with many of the scenarios she depicted. I only wish (and don't hate me for saying this) that her artistry was a bit more... refined? Better quality? Something that didn't look like scribbles?

So while I got a lot of enjoyment from the actual stories, I got nearly none from the artwork itself.

I'm still glad I bought it, so take this as you will.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not always funny, but still enjoyed this one
Reviewed in Germany on May 16, 2019
While ordering Tomboy I also saw that Liz Prince had other books. I decided on this one (don't worry, I also bought all the others now that I read this one and Tomboy). And yes, until Tomboy I never heard of Liz Prince. It seems like a lot of other people knew here from years ago, either from (it seems) the internet or for her other books.

This one was really funny, ok, not always. Some parts just made me roll my eyes or shake my head. I normally am not one that minds bad language, but I didn't entirely expect in here so yeah it was a bit of a shock. However that shock was over quite quickly.

I have no clue if this is fiction/non-fiction. It is tagged as such, however I felt that some things were just a bit to bordering on not real. And if it is really all true, then I feel really sorry for her that she had to endure those times.

The humour is a bit self-deprecating, which depending on how it is done, can mean I love it or hate it. Luckily in this case I liked it though it made me cringe at times.

I loved her adventures in the trials of Ok Cupid and her trials with guys, she really has zero luck it seems. Though there were some cute guys, in the end they all turned out to be a bit weird or not really her type or some other reason.

I also laughed out loud during the cat parts. She is truly a forever-alone cat lady, doing some kind of silly dance and then booping her cat on his/her nose. :)

All in all I would really recommend this book to people, it is funny, however you will have to love self-deprecating humour and you also need to like the subject or have similar feelings towards dating. I know I did, some things that Liz did are things I did, or things that I felt (like the fact lots of her friends have someone they love).
