Ready, steady...A comic coloring book for adults
Stres bojanka za nedorasle
While coloring this book you may feel demotivated, dysfunctional and counterproductive – and that's perfectly ok.
In a neurotic search for Truth and universal answers to every question, a growing number of people try, as a counterweight, to keep their sanity. Their science is memetics, their weapon is the meme, their shield – humor and satire.
Today, "trying not to offend anyone" and respecting "all the community rules", we have gone completely numb as a society. And all we really need is a good, hearty laugh.
That is how STRES BOJANKA ZA NEDORASLE was born: "STRESS" – because all those social-media posts make you feel unwell, and "THE IMMATURE" – because, after all these years, you still haven't learned how not to let it get to you.
Stres bojanka za nedorasle is a masterpiece of pure silliness, as a defense against that very silliness. It supports no one, calls out no one and incites nothing. Entirely infantile and non-violent, its ultimate goal is a new revolution that brings awareness of a real, unimposed freedom of choice.

For almost a century, Serbian alternative comics and other visual literature have been highly valued as one of the world's most interesting centres of this art form. „Stres bojanka za nedorasle” now adds to that reputation, in a fresh and undeniably controversial way.
Written by Milica Stojanović and drawn by Danica Radović, this collection of memetic miniatures parodies but also revitalizes an influential genre – coloring books for adults. It does so with humor, but also with merciless satire and a radical critique of today's civilization. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed the short, witty wisdom, and no less the phenomenal drawings by Danica Radović. This deserves to be widely known and to have the very best publisher.
No reader should be deprived of this coloring book. Anyone who picks up „Stres bojanka za nedorasle” and fills it with their own palette will spend their time returning to normal.
I don't know whether it is a greater literary or visual event. It works equally well as a book and as an exhibition. To Milica and Danica I wish many more such colorful works.

This is not a game with crayons. This is a punch in the ribs of everyday life. The drawings pull no punches – grotesque and tender, witty and bitter. Therapy and graffiti at once. They are not here to lull us, but to wake us. This is punk in color.
