Life of the Party. Fantagraphics Books, 1996. ISBN 1-56097-261-0, a collection of an autobiographical series (as translated in German and Spanish)

She started drawing minicomics in 1984 and published her first full work, Hoodoo, four years later. Her semi-autobiographical Slutburger Stories were first published by Rip Off Press, and later by Drawn & Quarterly. Many of Fleener's short stories appeared in anthologies like Weirdo and Twisted Sisters and the all-women Wimmen's Comix; and her illustrations appeared in Entertainment Weekly. Fleener went on to create more semi-autobiographical strips that were released in 1996 in the anthology Life of the Party, published by Fantagraphics. These comix depicted the artist and a colorful cast of characters playing in rock bands, surfing, going to college, and gleefully partaking of drugs and casual sex, among other things. Fleener's art style complements her stories, which are narrated in matter-of-fact but bemused first-person dialogue.

Mary Fleener (born September 14, 1951) is an American alternative comics artist, writer and musician from Los Angeles. Fleener's drawing style, which she calls cubismo, derives from the cubist aesthetic and other artistic traditions. Her first publication was a work about Zora Neale Hurston, called Hoodoo (1988), followed by the semi-autobiographical comics series Slutburger, and the anthology Life of the Party (1996). She is a member of the rock band called The Wigbillies.

Mary Fleener was born in 1951. When she was a child her mother worked for Disney from 1941–43. Fleener attended Cal State Long Beach for 4 years where she focused on printmaking. Fleener disliked the art program's focus on abstract works and dropped out in 1976. In 1984, she read an article "new comix," by Matt Groening in the LA WEEKLY that inspired her to create her first comic works, she developed her aesthetic on her own, and considers herself self-taught.
