"Nicole Hollander's internationally syndicated comic strip SYLVIA ran for thirty years. The characters, and unique sense of humor, that inhabited that progressive comic strip, however, originated in Hollander's own childhood neighborhood. WE ATE WONDERBREAD is the first graphic novel from this acclaimed veteran cartoonist, a coming-of-age memoir starring the gangsters, the glamorous, the bed bugs, the Catholics, the police, and many more characters who are just too eccentric to be made up. With an introduction by award-winning cartoonist Alison Bechdel (FUN HOME) WE ATE WONDERBREAD is Nicole Hollander's often-hilarious look into the origin of her style and wit, while also a chronicle of a Chicago community, and a piece of America, that has long since disappeared." -- cover page 4.
