What: The concept of Bitter with Baggage Seeks Same is pretty awesome. Little plastic chickens are placed in intricate dioramas that are humorously captioned. The execution is awesome-er because creator/author Sloane Tanen is very funny, whether the tableaus involve shopping, airport shuttles, Cinderella, or, erm, what appears to be a lost scene from one of the Saw movies.
Comparable to: OK, yes, this is a novelty book, so, you know, Cake Wrecks, Awkward Family Photos, Regretsy, etc. Except this didn't start as a blog.
Representative quote: "The prince's perverse fantasies were beginning to take their toll on Cinderella. Oh well, back to Barneys." [Don't you want to see the diorama that goes with that caption?]
Representative page:
You might not like it if: You have a chicken phobia.
How to get it: Bitter with Baggage Seeks Same is currently in print, although the follow-up book, Going for the Bronze, is not.
