Here’s some answers to questions I’m often asked. If your question isn’t answered by this incomplete Q&A, you can reach me at juliawertz(at)gmail(dot)com.

Q: What exactly is a “fart party?” and why is it the name of your comic?
A: Long story short, it stems from an inside joke regarding filling balloons with farts and then popping them when wanting guests to go home. The name was a last minute joke that fortunately or unfortunately stuck.

Q: How much of Fart Party is online and how much is in print?
A: For issues #1-3, only about 10% of it is online. For issues 4-7, about 70% is online.

Q: How are they published?
A: Atomic Books publishes Vol 1 & Vol 2 and Three Rivers Press will be publishing my self indulgent graphic novel about moving to New York in 2010. I self publish all mini comics.

Q: How long have you been drawing the Fart Party?
A: I began drawing them in September of 2005, and put the site up in the beginning of 2006. I still really have no idea what I’m doing.

Q: Most of the paintings on your site are sold, can I buy a similar one?
A: Absolutely, my bum ass always needs the money. email me at juliawertz(at)gmail(dot)com

Q: Why does real you look nothing like cartoon you?
A: Because real me is short, fat, ugly and smells bad & no one will sit by me at lunch.

Q: I sent you a link to my comics and you didn’t say anything about them. Did you hate them or are you just a bitch?
A: Despite the fact that Fart Party is sort of a webcomic, I HATE reading comics online. For reals, I fucking despise it. So, if you really want me to read your comic, send a copy to PO Box 220437
