Christmas is the season of stuff: cheap, forgettable things churned out in mass-production and destined for landfills. But what if, instead, we gave something that actually matters?

A witch, dressed in a Santa hat and coat, lounges with a wine glass, exuding holiday cheer. Beside her, the Grim Reaper is whimsically disguised as a Christmas tree, while a black cat sports antlers, playing the part of a reindeer. The scene is topped with the bold, hand-drawn message: "Give Art, Not Stuff"

 

Art isn’t mass-produced. It doesn’t come from Amazon or big-box stores. It comes from real people: artists who pour their hearts into what they create, who stay up late perfecting their craft. When you buy art, you’re not just buying a thing. You’re supporting someone’s passion, not funding some soulless billionaire who can’t even appreciate a good bowl of soup.

And not only that. People who are getting art as presents, are scientifically proven 300% more happy with the gift!

This year, skip the generic. Seek out the unique, the handmade, the weird and wonderful. Buy a comic book, a print, a piece of art that speaks to you. Give something with soul.

Every book you buy from our store comes with exactly that!

Black Friday isn’t a holiday, it’s a heist. A glittery, discount-code-waving distraction where billionaires  convince you that buying a $12 toaster you don’t need is a victory.

Spoiler: The only people winning are the ones who already have more money than God.

Jeff Bezos doesn’t need your $12. But the local bookstore? Your favorite indie artist? The weird little shop down the street that sells handmade candles that smell like a vacation in Scandinavia? They do.

Every dollar you spend at a corporate monolith is a dollar extracted from your community. It’s a vote for a world where Main Street looks like a ghost town and your social media feed is just ads for stuff you’ll forget by New Year’s. But every dollar you spend at a small business? That’s a dollar going toward someone’s rent. For the barista’s poetry habit or the cartoonist’s art supply. It’s a dollar that says, “I’d rather live in a world where people thrive than where billionaires buy themselves another yacht.”

So this Black Friday, skip the algorithmic “deals.” Unfollow the influencers hawking disposable junk. Instead, buy the zine from that artist you’ve been meaning to support. Grab a book from the shop with the creaky floorboards. Get the weird, wonderful thing you didn’t know you needed from the Etsy seller who hand-paints each one.

Because here’s the trick billionaires really hate: You don’t have to play their game. Your money is your power.

Ok, we know this is weird because we usually post in fine English only but this post is solely for German speakers – who as everyone knows need humor more than any other people.

Leute, es ist soweit! Unser erster Kalender ist draußen und er ist, nun ja, ein VOLLTREFFER!

Denn mit diesem Kalender beginnt jede Woche des neuen Jahres mit einem Lacher, einem Kichern oder zumindest einem süffisanten Lächeln. Also greift zu bevor das Jahr zu Ende ist.

Erhältlich ist der Kalender in jedem Buchladen, über unseren Verlag Edition Moderne oder unseren Online Shop.

Ein aufgeschlagener Wandkalender 'Wochenkalender 2026' von War Peas liegt auf einem schwarzen Ledersessel. Der Kalender zeigt einen Comic-Strip für Januar-Februar (KW 5) mit gezeichneten Figuren, darunter eine Hexe und Personen an einem Tisch mit einer Katze. Auf dem orangefarbenen Cover ist eine Illustration zu sehen, die Menschen und Haustiere um einen Esstisch versammelt zeigt, mit Blick durch ein Fenster auf das ein Metor zusteuert. Unten steht der Verlagsname 'Edition Moderne'. Foto: Nicolas Duc

Howl. Howl. Howl. It’s Harvest Moon and you know what that means: PRINT DROP SEASON!

 

 

 

Locally Sourced & Signed by the Artists

All of these come fresh from a local print studio. They’re not mass-produced, not churned out by a soulless mega-corporation that also sells mayonnaise and garden hoses. No, these are real.

We, Elizabeth and Jonathan, sign them with our own actual hands, the same hands that have shaken in caffeine-induced terror and absentmindedly petted stray cats – while thinking of stories that make you smile.

🌕 Get Yours Before It’s Too Late! 🌕

 

 

 

Magical Guffaw

Why do you only do print drops on full moons? Well, because magic, that’s why. But also because a full moon does things to people. It stirs the ancient, pre-tax-document parts of the brain. It makes wolves howl, makes people google things like “can the moon make me impulsively buy art,” and generally bathes everything in a weird, mystical glow that says, Yes, you should probably own one of these prints.

🌕 Get Yours Before It’s Too Late! 🌕

 

 

You’d rather die than decide which print you like? We’ve got you covered: Order the Surprise Print and we’ll decide what’s best for you. That can be a print from this collection, from a previous one or a comic no one has ever laid eyes upon!

 

So go and tell your friends! Because the moon is full, the prints are live, and if you hesitate, you may have to live with the unbearable knowledge that someone else has the print that should have been yours. And that, my friend, is no way to live.

🌕 Get Yours Before It’s Too Late! 🌕

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin’
We could dream this night away

But there’s a full moon risin’
Let’s go dancin’ in the light
We know where the music’s playin’
Let’s go out and feel the night

Because I’m still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I’m still in love with you
On this harvest moon
