    In this collection from the hit webcomic, the pink-haired, sassy senior who’s been around the block shares what she’s learned about life. “Life is too short to remember to remove a USB safely.” “Unfortunately, my daydreams about being skinny are often cut short by the sounds of me chewing a cookie.” Created to give “the crazy old lady in all of us” a voice that can be heard from ten blocks away, Aunty Acid, along with her long-suffering husband, Walt, tells it like it is and has her own unique opinions on everything. She’s here to guide you through life on matters including finding Mr. Right and dealing with difficult people (a.k.a. idiots). Aunty Acid is created by Ged Backland and is brought to life by the team at the Backland Studio in Bradford, West Yorkshire, in Northern England. Their other properties include the widely successful Scarlett & Crimson series.
