This story is dedicated to all those who long for sleep but are sent on a wild goose chase every night by their brains. We feel you, our sleep is weird, too.
Just like “A Job is a Job”, this story can be found in our new book “Once Upon a Workday”. Find more on on how to order here.
Ciao for now,
Elizabeth and Jonathan
We are so happy to announce that the short story A Job is a Job is coming out today, namely in our brand new book Once Upon a Workday!
Once Upon a Workday is a collection of funny and heartfelt stories about the ups and downs of adulthood, being overworked and under-appreciated, while mustering up the resilience to keep going on your path. The six short stories will console and inspire the burnt-out professional in all of us. The beautiful hardcover is being released by Andrews McMeel – the publishing house that brought you Peanuts as well as Calvin & Hobbes.
We are incredibly proud of this book and we’re sure you’ll love it, too. It’s available wherever books are sold as well as these online platforms!
It’s a big day for us! We finally get to show you the cover of our upcoming book Once Upon a Workday which will be released on April 2nd at the publishing powerhouse Andrews McMeel!
The book is different from everything we’ve done so far. It’s about the exhausting, the hopeful, the struggle and the beautiful of everday life. It’s about work-life balance, creative blocks and the overwhelming feeling of having a restless heart. While we know our way around a sleepless night pondering the uncertainty of the universe, we also know the frustration of formulating the right farewell in an email. No matter how big or small, you will find our musings on the creative’s life questions in this book.
Once Upon a Workday features the short story “A Job is a Job” that many of you loved and kept asking us about. You can preorder the book wherever books are sold and via this link list!
Our book is out today and it’s already unavailable at some wholesalers. So hurry up, if you want to get your hands on the first edition!
Thank you all for going this way with us!
And many thanks to our amazing agent Nicola, our amazing editor Lucas and our amazing publisher Andrews McMeel. It’s a great honor to be publishing under the same roof as legends like Calvin & Hobbes, Peanuts and our fellow webcomic colleagues Sarah Andersen, Nick Seluk, Alex Norris and many more.
As we often said, we’re big fans of local book stores. We want to encourage you walking into the next book shop around your corner and breath the amazing wisdom-induced air in there.

“Hilarious, morbid, and sometimes oddly touching, War and Peas is among the best of the best in modern comics. You’ll be laughing out loud.”
— Sarah Andersen, creator of Sarah’s Scribbles
“From the creators of the hugely popular Instagram comic War and Peas, this offbeat four-panel comic features a dark, fairy-tale aesthetic and a twist ending each time. War and Peas: Funny Comics for Dirty Lovers combine twisted humor with a beloved cast of characters including the grim reaper (seen here as an unintentionally lethal man of leisure), a robot in hopelessly in love with his scientist creator, and a promiscuous yet self-assured witch. Unlike most webcomic collections, this one tells a story using dozens of never-before-seen comics to chronicle the lives of several different characters and their follies during life, death, and their glorious reunions in the afterlife (and the after-afterlife).”
