This comic strip from 2016 feels like an ancient artifact to us.

There are days when looking at something you’ve created feels like staring too long at your own reflection under unforgiving fluorescent lights, full of flaws and imperfections. And yet – despite its flaws – there’s something in this comic that still speaks to us in a way that makes us think that maybe it wasn’t so bad after all.

And hey, if you like it, too, there are a few signed prints left in our shop!

We already published our debut book “War and Peas: Funny Comics for Dirty Lovers” but we want to inform you why preordering books from your favourite artists is a good thing:

There are two big reasons: First of all, it helps getting the title on book lists. Secondly, shops will more likely store the book if the preorder numbers are solid.

So, by preordering our book, you help us do what we love: making comics and making you laugh.
