Samenvatting:

From actress, comedian, musician, and writer Charlyne Yi comes this collection of illustrated, interconnected short stories and anecdotes that blends comedy, fantastic adventures, and a storm of feelings that will make you want to laugh and cry at the same time&;reminiscent of the works of Demetri Martin, Shel Silverstein and John Cassavetes.

Charlyne Yi takes readers from a sky filled with vengeful clouds to the depths of a frog&;s stomach, and to Hell and back&;literally&;in this collection of short stories that showcases her unique style.

Equal parts whimsical, hilarious, heartbreaking, and terrifying, these short stories&;both written and illustrated by Charlyne&;can be read separately, but are connected thematically following the difficulties of love at every age:

&; Forgive Me: What happens when the tiniest boy of all time is the only thing standing between the world&;s largest baby and an angry mob? Who could ever love something so small? Or so big?

&; She&;s All Legs: In this spicy, action-packed romance, Agatha, a woman who is literally just legs and a head, decides to hunt down and kill the Devil himself. Along the way she meets Cassady, an Elvis impersonator with his own, mysterious gripe with the Dark Lord.

Short, one-page anecdotes, poems, reflections, and imagery are also included.

Strange, heartfelt, and wonderful, Oh the Moon shows you love in the way that only Charlyne Yi&;s brilliant, witty mind can.
