NEW YORK, Oct. 26 (UPI) -- Broad City star Abbi Jacobson's Carry This Book features illustrations of what Jacobson imagines is in the bags and purses of various celebrities.

From Oprah Winfrey (a nod to Jacobson's Broad City character), to Hillary Clinton to Beyonce -- and even Donald Trump -- Jacobson imagined the contents of bags down to minute details, like the Weight Watchers points in Oprah's muffins.

Jacobson said that not limiting the book to people she admired allowed her to make fun of the people she disliked -- like Trump.

"I found a lot of the people I didn't love were some of my favorites to draw," she said. "I got to poke fun at them more. I wanted to include more bad guys."

Carry This Book was released Tuesday. Jacobson stars alongside Ilana Glazer in Broad City, which films its fourth season this winter.
