"Several of these strips were originally published by the Columbus Alive! in Columbus, Ohio."--T.p. verso.

From 2017 to 2019, cartoonist Noah Van Sciver was creating short stories and illustrations for local magazines and alt-weeklies, to serve as what he calls a personal "survival mechanism." All of these comics, at times both hysterical and tender, are all collected for the first time in 'Please Don't Step On My JNCO Jeans'. When do you know you're too old to trick-or-treat? What's the best way to effectively dispose of those teenage, ode-filled journals? Where do cherished cereal box prizes go when you grow up? From embracing holiday traditions, deciphering youthful transgressions, to going on a quest to turn cute cat content into quick cash, Van Sciver adroitly mines life's quotidian moments and his own subconscious to create these comics readers will return to again and again whether you are new to this award-winning artist or a Van Sciver completist. "JNCO Jeans", mostly told through one-pagers, holds observations, reflections, and breakthroughs from one of the most prolific and inspirational cartoonists of his generation.
