Inside story: Abbi Jacobson’s sly peek into pockets of the famed

The writer, actor and illustrator has made the purse and pocket contents of famous figures — both real and imagined — the focus of her new coffee-table book, “Carry This Book.”

Each spread features the nuanced bric-a-brac and personal effects of characters ranging from rap mogul Jay Z to Albert Einstein.

For Jacobson, one of the creators and stars of Comedy Central’s “Broad City,” choosing which people to profile was an early challenge.

For fans of “Broad City,” it will come as no surprise that Jacobson’s book is filled with humorous asides and details that reflect the candor and vibe of her hit television show.

Drawn in vibrant colors, the pages of “Carry This Book” reveal that Vogue Editor in Chief Anna Wintour is a fan of Chipotle burritos, and that Kanye West keeps all of his thoughts neatly secured on a portable thumb drive.

While I was researching him, I didn’t know that while a lot of stuff he said was hugely inspirational and important, a lot of it was also really racist to a lot of other people.

The spread for drag queen and reality show host RuPaul, for instance, includes a script for an episode of “Broad City’s” upcoming fourth season.

Before their show on Comedy Central, she and Glazer would often perform at the New York City wing of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, and Jacobson says that her improvisatory tendencies have carried into her art.

In “Carry This Book,” she makes an effort to point out mistakes on the page, circling where one of her markers went dry or a spot required heavy erasing.
