Life's A Bitch
Naughty Bits, the longest-running solo comic by a female alternative cartoonist, came to an end in 2004
after a 14-year, 40-issue run. Beloved for the expressive scrawl of Gregory’s line and her take-no-
prisoners satirical approach, it was particularly notable for introducing the world to Bitchy Bitch — a
woman who is eternally, magnificently, and for the most part, quite justifiably pissed off at the world
around her! This extra-thick, very reasonably priced volume collects the entire first half of the Bitchy Bitch
saga, and it ranges widely in her eventful life. There are stories about Bitchy’s travails as a little girl
(when she was just “Bitsy Bitch”), including that greatest horror of all, the holidays; a long sequence
about her hippie free-love days in the ’70s (and the harrowing abortion that followed); tales of her
miserable days as an office drone surrounded by dunces, lechers, and the occasional ultra-Christian
maniac; and the hilarious full-length graphic novel “Bitchy Takes a Vacation,” where a tropical getaway
turns into a fiasco (romantic and otherwise) of epic proportions. The book will also feature a brand new
full-length story that chronicles the (never before shown) death of Bitchy’s tempestuous father (well, she
had to get that temper from somewhere), as Gregory once again finds the humor in even the grimmest
situation. 240 PGS, 6 X 9 Format

Burn Bitchy Burn
Included in this collection of Gregory's legendary Naughty Bits comic book series is the classic, "Fallout,"
in which Bitchy Bitch believes she is going into menopause, causing her to flash back to her childhood
in the 1960s, complete with memories of bomb shelters, school, and backstabbing kiddies.
"Adult-Erated" provides more insight into the past of comicdom's only permanently PO'd and PMS'd
protagonist, focusing on Bitchy's post-college years, including her first apartment. The title strip, "Burn,
Bitchy, Burn," centers on "Witchy Bitch," a 12th Century medicine woman and dead ringer for Bitchy Bitch.
Accused of being a witch and sentenced to burning at the stake, Witchy feels no less oppressed by her
society than her future counterpart, to say the least. But is she really a witch? These classic Gregory
strips are supplemented with an all-new strip created especially for this collection, making BURN,
BITCHY, BURN a smoldering standard-bearer of feminist-themed comic art.
