The Longevity Hack
Everyone is looking for the fountain of youth–but dare we say, we probably found it.
It’s a fact, that laughter extends your life. Nothing rejuvenates the mind, body, and soul like a good chuckle. And we mean that whole-hearted laughter that comes from actual human-made art, not whatever algorithm-generated slop is currently clogging your feed like arterial plaque.
Now, here’s our proposition: You get the ultimate longevity hack, the key to an endless stream of funny stuff, and we get to make a living.
Our supporters on Patreon are already in on it. They’re not just getting bonus comics, early access, and downloadable art – though they are getting those things. No, what they’re really getting is more life.
Think about it. Every comic you see before the general public is another laugh you get ahead of the mortality curve. You’re literally time-traveling into a funnier, longer future. The rest of the world is brain-rotting away while you’re chuckling at Sunday’s comic on a Friday like some dashing Doc Brown.

A Funnier, Longer Life
If you want to take your hack to the next level, you can sign up for an actual physical love letter. In the mail. Remember mail? That thing that used to bring us things other than bills and ads?
This love letter arrives filled with a holographic sticker, a surprise item from the exclusive subscriber vault of wonders (cartoon magnets that will hold your nephew’s drawing to your fridge way better than those real estate agent freebies; bumper stickers that might cause a pile-up on the freeway; key chains that will hold your keys while also broadcasting your artistic taste), sealed with actual love and confetti.
When was the last time you opened your mail and confetti fell onto your driveway? When was the last time anything in your life involved confetti that wasn’t shredding financial documents before your shady boss’s tax audit. This confetti celebrates your longer life.

Don’t Die
The science is unimpeachable: human-made art makes you laugh, laughter releases endorphins, endorphins are basically tiny maintenance workers repairing your insides, and boom: you’ve just extended your warranty.
And unlike those sketchy supplement companies or that one guy in Yoga class who won’t shut up about intermittent fasting, we’re offering you a path to longevity that involves more laughter, not less food.
So really becoming a Patreon supporter isn’t just supporting an artist. It’s an investment in your own continued existence. Your move, mortal.

Give Art Not Stuff
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?
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.
Signed Books
Something everybody loves is books. Even better is a book with an original signature from the artist, a small drawing and the name of the name of the recipient!
Every book you buy from our store comes with exactly that!
PS: Please mind the shipping durations and order in time!
Driving the Stick
This was Ljubljana

We’re aware this might sound like one of those insufferable travel essays where someone discovers authentic gelato and suddenly they’re all Eat Pray Love, but let’s talk about Ljubljana:
This charming Slovenian capital where heraldic dragons guard bridges and the food operates on a new level of deliciousness, there exists a small festival that has earned a disproportionately large place in our hearts.
The festival in question: Tinta Stripa, which happens every October.

The itinerary went like this:
We opened our exhibition “Apocalypse Now” (Oct. 11-31), which sounds more horrible than it actually was. We participated in the market, where we sold out our entire inventory in two hours – two hours – which was either a testament to our work or evidence that Slovenians are the most impulsive comic buyers in Europe. And then we did an on-stage interview and comic reading in an abandoned cinema that’s been repurposed as a concert venue, which is exactly the kind of atmospheric detail that makes you wonder if someone’s deliberately staging your life for maximum aesthetic impact.
We loved every second of our stay. Watch the interview here:
The German comic duo War and Peas (Elizabeth Pich and Jonathan Kunz) and their recognisable characters have already attracted over a million readers worldwide. In a talk moderated by Izar Lunaček, they shared insights into the behind-the-scenes process of creating their webcomic series, how it has evolved over the years, and how they manage to pack an entire story into just four panels. As a special treat, they also performed live interpretations of some of their comics.

Original Art in the Shop
We love original artworks, you love original artworks. All of them are one-of-a-kind and handmade on archival grade paper.
We all know that. But what is new are these premium frames!
Hot Vampire Tales – Only 1 available
We are not exaggerating when we say that we believe these frames are the best money can buy. The handling is phenomenal and the workmanship is absolutely world class. We can only imagine how people must have felt when they held the first products designed by Dieter Rams in their hands, but it must have been similar.
Buff Aliens – Only 1 available
The plexiglas guarantees a timeless, museum-quality presentation and provides perfect UV protection for the image. It is also lightweight, break-resistant and allows the colors of the artwork to shine through unadulterated.
Each frame features a magnetic closure system, multiple hanging points for perfect wall mounting, and protective felt pads.
PS: We updated the frames that come with comic prints as well!
Harvest Moon Print Drop 🌻🍂✨
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.
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.
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.
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
Cause of Death
Sisyphus vs. Dung Beetle
F*ck School
