Brightly shining comedy stars WIll Forte and Abbi Jacobson have each just come out with their own illustrated books that speak their truth in their own specific, unique comedic voice.

For Will, he made very simple, but effective drawings of what not to do if you’re interested in picking up the chicks. He collected many of these drawings from earlier in his career and put them together in 101 Things To Definitely Not Do If You Want To Get a Chick”.

Jacobson highlighted her design acumen in Carry This Book by illustrating what she thinks various celebrities from Beyonce to Trump carry with them on a daily basis. Her brightly colored drawings have plenty of jokes packed in each page not unlike you’d see in the production design of animated series such as The Simpsons or BoJack Horseman.

Both would make for a great holiday gift or just a nice treat to yourself right now.
