  What would road rage in Beverly Hills look like? From the whimsical perspective of The Other Coast creator Adrian Raeside, it would involve a prim-and-proper hurling of a jar of Grey Poupon at the offending driver. The Other Coast: Road Rage in Beverly Hills is the first collection of Adrian Raeside's strip featuring his off-kilter view of contemporary life. Raeside's lighthearted look at culture, politics, fashion, society, and life in general is both insightful and hilarious. Whether it's taking a clever poke at our obsession with wireless phones, our inability to maintain a workout program, or the witty banter of married life, The Other Coast is a bastion of original thinking, wry wit, and out-loud laughs. Much of the humor comes at the expense of Toulose, the eccentric screenwriter, and his cause-seeking wife, Vicki. But the strip also features a colorful cast of repair people, kids, contractors, tech-support goons, agents, pets, and much more. Those enjoying strips that provide more than the "same ol' schtick" are sure to relish a visit to The Other Coast, where folks aren't deep enough to be shallow.

  This Is Your First Rock Garden...

  It's different "over there." Everybody east of Washington, Oregon, and California knows it. But defining the West Coast as "not like the East Coast" leaves way too much of the story untold. No, far better to turn to Adrian Raeside's This Is Your First Rock Garden, Isn't It?, perhaps one of the most informative —and certainly funniest—explanations to ever depict the westernmost portion of our country. Raeside represents the perfect comic commentator on what makes "Other Coasters" tick. He was born a Kiwi, lived in England, and now resides in British —close enough for a good view without having to get mixed up in the muddle that passes for the West Coast lifestyle and its many subcultures. Instead, the cartoonist accurately sheds light and humor on residents who put their own unique spin on everything from cars and coffee to extreme sports and the latest out-there technology.

  When Adriana went to give her a complimentary breakfast in the morning, Lily asked her to stay and have breakfast with her. She was charming, confident, and as close to a perfect human being as Adriana could imagine. When she learned Adriana had a science background, she offered to introduce her to remote working and even put her in touch with some of her clients. 
  Thus began a beautiful friendship and Adriana really hoped Lily would consider staying with them for longer than the three months she originally came for, but their relationship took a weird turn one night. Adriana joined Lily for dinner as was becoming the norm and after the meal, Lily offered to open one of her newly acquired wine bottles. It was the weekend so Adriana didn't mind and they soon got cozy and slightly drunk. That's when Adriana asked Lily something she was thinking about for some time now. 
  “Lily, I might be stepping out of line for asking this but how does this lifestyle affect your love life? Don’t you have a serious boyfriend or something?” 
  Lily sighed before answering “No. I never found the right person…” there was something broken and bitter in her voice, then she resumed to her cheery-self “Maybe that’s why I am wandering from town to town, looking for the right person.”
