  • 4-panel-comic by War and Peas Panel 1: In a classroom full of young mantis students, a female mantis teacher stands in front of a chart showing a pair of mating mantises. She says, “During copulation the female mantis experiences earth-shattering waves of pleasure.” Panel 2: The mantis students react with excitement. One says “WOW!” and another giggles “Hee Hee.” Panel 3: A male student mantis named Timmy raises his hand and asks, “What about male praying mantises, Mrs. Schneider?” Panel 4: The teacher, looking a bit awkward, replies, “Um... You’re not going to like this, Timmy.”
  • Panel 1: Two cartoonish trees with faces are talking while watching a man in a flannel shirt and beanie walking through the wilderness. One tree exclaims, “Oh no, Pam. There comes a lumberjack!” Panel 2: The second tree reassures the first, saying, “No, Marsha. It’s ok! Look, it’s just a hipster.” Panel 3: The first tree, now visibly relieved, sighs, “Oh, thank God.” The man stands in the clearing, looking around. Panel 4: The scene shifts to a "Grand Opening" event at a café called "Brewski Bros." Outside, multiple bearded, flannel-wearing hipsters sit at tables, drinking coffee and socializing, while the trees have been cut down.
  • Comic von War and Peas: Janet läuft durch eine Wüstenlandschaft. Text: 'Von allen Pflanzen liebte Janet den Kaktus am meisten.' Sie nähert sich einem großen Kaktus, umarmt ihn innig und lächelt dabei. Nahaufnahme zeigt, wie die Stacheln des Kaktus ihr Gesicht und ihre Arme verletzen. Abschließender Text: 'Liebe ist Schmerz.'
  • 4-panel comic by War and Peas Panel 1: A caveman-like figure with long hair and a beard stands at the entrance of a cave, gazing at the barren landscape. Panel 2: The figure sits on a rock, poking the ground absentmindedly with a stick. Panel 3: The figure watches the sunset alone, the vast landscape around him. Panel 4: He looks at the horizon, sighs, and says, “I f***ing miss techno parties.”
  • 4-Panel Comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: A melting iceberg complains, "It is so hot! This damn climate change!" Another iceberg listens in the background. Panel 2: The second iceberg, "My great-grandfather was doing something about climate change before it was en vogue." Panel 3: The first iceberg looks puzzled and asks, "Your great-grandfather?" Panel 4: Flashback to a historical scene: a mustached iceberg watches as the Titanic sails toward it under a moonlit sky. The iceberg smugly replies, "Yeees, yeees."
  • 4-Panel Comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: A UFO hovers in the night sky, beaming up a man named Jerry with a bright yellow tractor beam. Panel 2: Two people watch the abduction. One exclaims, "They're abducting Jerry!" Panel 3: As the UFO flies away, the two people remain unbothered. One says, "Thank God! I never liked him." The other replies, "Yeah, me neither." Panel 4: Onboard the alien spaceship, Jerry is seated on a throne, surrounded by decorations, gifts, and an alien celebration. An alien reassures him, "They didn't deserve you, Jerry."

A humorous illustrated story titled "Sincerely Yours," exploring the struggle of choosing the perfect email sign-off. The visuals follow a quirky, cartoonish style with warm and earthy colors. Panel 1: A lone figure sits at a desk under a bare tree with an orange backdrop. The figure, holding a tiny umbrella, types on a computer. The caption reflects on composing an email: "The wording is proper, the subject line is okay. It's ready to send, I spent ages composing. The only thing missing is the email's closing." Panel 2: The scene shifts underground, showing various chambers representing the writer's overthinking. One chamber shows a person contemplating at a desk, while others hold filing cabinets and discarded paper. The caption continues: "There must be a line that perfectly sums it up, one that shows how I feel but not too much." Panel 3: The focus is on the writer in another underground chamber, struggling with options. They compare "Sincerely yours" and "Yours sincerely," seeking a balance of warmth and professionalism. The caption humorously notes: "I want to show I'm not too fickle and most definitely not skittish." Panel 4: Deeper underground, the chambers explore different sign-off ideas. One considers "Warm regards" but questions its sincerity. Another ponders "Forever yours" or "With love," which feels too extreme. The caption jokes about overanalyzing: "Everything I think of leads in the wrong direction." Panel 5: More chambers delve into casual and quirky sign-offs, such as "All the best" (too bold) and "XOXO" (too playful). The writer considers practical phrases like "Thanks" but second-guesses their appropriateness. Panel 6: The final panel shows the writer's internal chaos reaching its peak. They hesitate over options like "Take care" or "Stay safe," worried they might sound too personal or ominous. The story ends with the realization: "Oh wait, did I just press Send?"

This story originates from the book “Once Upon a Workday” by War and Peas. Optimized here for the web – because it’s the web, and everything must be optimized.

And there’s much more in the book. Not only the amazing feeling of a real book and real pages that you can actually turn. There are more stories like this and if you decide to buy a copy from our online shop you’ll get it signed including a little original doodle!

Posing book in a street of bookstores

You hear it everywhere: The plea to pre-order a book. But why? Here are three reasons why pre-ordering a book means true support to authors and bookshops:

1. Signal to the Publisher

Strong pre-order sales send a signal to the publisher that the book might be success. The publishing house can now increase the marketing budget and adjust the print run to meet the demands.

2. Shelf it up!

As soon as bookstores see a high level of interest in a book, they take steps to position the book better. They will order more books to meet the demand and they may put the book in the window to attract even more readers.

3. Bestseller Lists

Most bestseller lists only take into account sales in the first week after the release. Pre-ordered books are also counted in this first week. And you guessed it: bestseller lists are self-fulfilling prophecies. As soon as a book makes it there, more readers buy the book and it can generate a hype.

Once Upon a Workday

Our new book “Once Upon a Workday” will be out on April 2nd and we are super excited (and nervous!) about everything. We’ve poured a lot of ourselves into these stories and are so happy to send it out into the world to you. Help us make this book a success.

the new book "Once upon a workday" from the creators of "War and Peas" will be out on April 2nd!

If you want to read more about the book and find order links, please follow this link.

But we highly recommend ordering through your local bookstore. We believe that books live and breathe in these places. Local jobs are protected and you always have a place to go when you want to dream.

The easiest way to find your local bookstore is through Google Maps but there are also specialized sites to help you.

Thanks for your time and long live books!
