I’ve Seen You Naked Over 8,000 Times

Marriage and Other Risks of a One-Night Stand

It all began when Ilene Markowitz met and then wed Bill Haddad. After realizing she'd married a cartoon character, Ilene (now Haddad) began sharing comics of conversations she had with her husband. This fodder eventually morphed into a series of essays and then into a book—this book. A little more Ricky and Lucy than Romeo and Juliet, the banter of this little offshoot of the United Nations makes for a comedic reflection on marriage and other long-term relationships.

Yellow cover of I've Seen You Naked Over 8,000 Times by Ilene Haddad. She is shown in her cartoon self with her cartoon husband.

What readers are saying…

"If you're a fan of Jenny Lawson, you'll love Ilene Haddad." Suzy Spencer, New York Times bestselling author

"Ilene Haddad has a voice you want to spend time with. She brings you into the strange, tender, and brutally funny ecosystem of her marriage with brilliant comedic timing and bracing honesty. Bill and Ilene's 'hit-and-miss bliss' shows us that rarest of things: a love that endures, not despite but because of, the unique and humbling challenges they've faced together." Rachel Starnes, author of The War at Home: A Wife's Search for Peace (and Other Missions Impossible)
