Most of you are aware that we send out monthly love letters. Yes, the ones that land in your physical mailbox and smell like roses.

We have a level for that on Patreon and if you plan on joining the club, you should do it now. Because this letter will be special: We’re sending out one super cute alien sticker sheet with every letter and we are so amazed by the quality, we had to spoiler that.

Join the club now!

Each love letter contains:

  • one heartfelt poem
  • one hologram sticker
  • one surprise item (except this month it’s not really a surprise)

Join the club now!

Panel 1: A shoe store employee is kneeling in front of Bigfoot sitting on a bench. The employee struggles to fit a small shoe onto the creature’s massive foot, saying, “Mr. Foot, I think we need a bigger—” Panel 2: Bigfoot, now zoomed in with an intense and intimidating expression, cuts him off, asking, “A bigger what?” Panel 3: The employee, sweating and looking nervous, quickly backtracks, saying, “Uhm, nothing. Just a completely normal-sized shoe.” Panel 4: The employee, now visibly panicked, gets up and starts running away as Mr. Foot calmly but still angry sits on the bench. The employee says, “For a completely normal-footed guy.”

A bearded pirate in a red coat and black hat gestures with one hand, looking slightly uncomfortable. The text above reads: "You have millions of followers. I think you're good." The caption beneath him says: "Well yes, but actually no." The meme humorously highlights the misconception that a large social media following equals financial success.

Yes, we have millions of followers and social media is great for validation, but not so much for paying bills. Turns out, likes and shares don’t magically turn into rent money.

Platforms don’t pay us, and while some of you do (which we deeply appreciate), the conversion rate is… laughably low. If exposure paid rent, we’d be landlords. But alas.

So, if you enjoy what we do and want to keep seeing it, Patreon is where that magic happens. No pressure – just an invitation to be part of the reason this stays sustainable.

A book titled Liebe Erde by War and Peas rests among the green leaves of a plant. The cover illustration features a cartoon Earth wearing a small hat, sweating nervously while holding a burning letter, surrounded by flames. A red circular sticker on the cover indicates the inclusion of new and exclusive comic strips. The book is published by Edition Moderne. The vibrant yellow background of the cover contrasts with the green foliage surrounding it.

If you don’t speak German: our deepest condolences. From here on, it’s all existential despair and unnecessarily long words. But hey, if you’ve ever dreamed of mastering the former language of love (back when poets and philosophers actually preferred it, before history happened again), now’s your shot. If not, no stress, the book drops in English this April, and you can already pre-order it on Amazon (tragically, not the rainforest).

Liebe Erde

Wir sind mega stolz, dass unser neues Buch LIEBE ERDE beim renommierten Verlag EDITION MODERNE erscheint!

Darin enthalten sind die besten Strips über unseren (nicht so vorbildlichen) Umgang mit dem Planeten. Bäume, Berge, Tauben, Meerjungfrauen, Aliens, Gottesanbeterinnen, Hunde – alle machen sich über uns Menschen lustig und zeigen uns mit Biss und Humor unbequeme Wahrheiten auf.

Und das Beste: Es sind neue und unveröffentlichte Strips enthalten! In unserem Shop gibt es signierte Exemplare.

Bestellen könnt ihr das wunderschöne Buch AUSSERDEM hier:

… und wirklich in jedem Buchladen im deutschsprachigen Raum!

Weil ihr nun durchgehalten habt und diesen Text immer noch lest, haben wir einen exklusiven Comic für euch, der weder im Buch ist, noch auf Englisch erscheint, sondern einfach nur da ist, weil wir euch gern haben:

Panel 1 (Spanien): Zwei Personen stehen draußen unter blauem Himmel, zeigen nach oben und rufen auf Spanisch: „¡Mirad! La migración de las grullas está llegando.“ (Schau! Der Zug der Kraniche kommt.) Am Himmel sieht man eine Gruppe fliegender Vögel. Panel 2 (Frankreich): Eine ähnliche Szene – zwei Menschen, einer mit blonden Haaren, die andere mit braunen Haaren, zeigen nach oben und sagen auf Französisch: „Regard! La migration des grues arrive!“ (Schau! Der Zug der Kraniche kommt.) Auch hier fliegen Kraniche über den Himmel. Panel 3 (Niederlande): Eine ältere Frau und ein Mädchen mit Zöpfen zeigen nach oben. Das Mädchen ruft auf Niederländisch: „Kijk! De kraanvogeltrek komt eraan!“ (Schau! Der Zug der Kraniche kommt.) Über ihnen sind wieder fliegende Kraniche zu sehen. Panel 4 (Deutschland): Anstelle von Vögeln am Himmel ist hier eine große, gelbe Störungsmeldung mit gezacktem Rand zu sehen: „Aufgrund einer technischen Störung fällt der Zug der Kraniche aus.“ Darunter stehen drei Menschen, die verwirrt und enttäuscht nach oben blicken. Am unteren Rand des Comics steht „War and Peas“.

4-panel comic by War and Peas: Panel 1: A cheerful witch is seen packing a box at a table, with scissors and tape nearby. She exclaims, "My business really is booming!" A vampire seated nearby asks curiously, "What business?" Panel 2: The witch responds casually, "I'm selling used tampons to Vampires online." Panel 3: The vampire, looking shocked and holding a mug of tea, exclaims, "Wait. You're Lady Red?" Panel 4: The witch, still focused on her packaging, replies happily, "It's very lucrative." The vampire turns away from the witch in shock and tries to cover his cup of tea with his body. The teabag has a bright red label.

Panel 4: Thirty seconds later, the witch notices and says, "You forgot your ears." The vampire looks confused, "Huh?" as his pointed ears start to burn in the sunlight.
