Awkward Flyer

Awkward Flyer has 591K followers on Instagram, and for good reason. The account is brilliantly funny and offers the perfect diversion in the all too serious world of social media. Awkward Flyer is ‘an intervention series confronting stereotypes with uncomfortable honesty’. No personality – or shall we say cliché – is safe from scrutiny: the cargo bike dad, the pilates princess, the digital nomad, the thrift store hipster. Even Leonardo DiCaprio, aka ‘the Peter Pan of Hollywood’, is given a good roast. This book bundles some of the best visual sketches from the Instagram account. Accompanied by the dry explanatory texts that also appear on the app, they will make you chuckle – and sometimes burst out in laughter – while leafing through the pages. Warning: some types may feel awkwardly familiar.
