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.

🌕 Get Yours Before It’s Too Late! 🌕

 

 

 

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.

🌕 Get Yours Before It’s Too Late! 🌕

 

 

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.

🌕 Get Yours Before It’s Too Late! 🌕

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

Jonathan Kunz and Elizabeth Pich, the creators of the comic series 'War and Peas,' are seated at a table during Comic Con Saar. Jonathan Kunz, on the left, is holding a skull prop and wearing a cap. The table is adorned with various items including books, merchandise, and a blue cash box. The books and other items displayed prominently feature colorful and artistic covers. The setting suggests a promotional or signing event for their comic series. The photo was taken by Stefan Behrendt.

 

Meeting you, our readers (aka followers aka fans?), at festivals is always a heartwarming experience. There’s something truly special about connecting with people from all corners of the world who find a piece of themselves in our stories. Traveling to different conventions and countries, we’re constantly reminded of the vast, diverse community that stares into our little comic universe.

It can be overwhelming at times, the sheer scale of faces and stories, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. Each smile, each shared laugh, and every story you tell us about how our comics touched your life keeps us going. Thank you so much for that. And if we ever appear weird or exhausted, please don’t take it personally, it’s just what we are at times.

A black-and-white cartoon by War and Peas shows a dog holding a whip in its mouth while looking at its owner, John, who stands silently in a park. The caption reads, "I thought we could spice things up a bit, John." The scene humorously suggests the dog is trying to introduce a kink element into their walk routine.

A black-and-white cartoon by War and Peas shows a woman speaking to a man. They stand facing each other with neutral expressions. The woman says, "It’s not you, it’s men." The caption is a humorous twist on the classic breakup line, "It’s not you, it’s me," suggesting her frustration is with men in general rather than the individual man.

A cartoon by War and Peas shows a bird sitting in an airplane seat, wearing a seatbelt and angrily saying to a man next to them, "Why don’t you mind your own fuckin’ business."

A promotional image for the book "Hi, Earth" by Elizabeth Pich and Jonathan Kunz (War and Peas). The image shows the book cover featuring a cartoon Earth wearing a cowboy hat and sweating while surrounded by flames. Cartoon animal characters surround the book: a bee with a blue balloon above, a smiling cow on the left, and a yellow dog/squirrel on the right. The background transitions from orange to yellow, with a quote at the bottom reading: "I can't remember the last time I snorted this much while reading a book." - Patile on Goodreads.

It’s Out Now!

We still can’t quite believe it’s happening, but today we’re releasing our book “Hi, Earth” into the wild. We’ve spent years drawing talking animals, suicidal icebergs and horny flowers, trying to make sense of this beautiful mess we call home.

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."

We never set out to create something profound. Honestly, we just wanted to draw comics that made us laugh during our own late-night anxiety spirals about the state of the planet. Somehow those drawings about Timmy the terrified teenage praying mantis and aliens who can’t decide if they want to take over the planet or not, are now bound together in actual book form.

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."

In these strange times, we’ve found that laughing at colorful pictures about the apocalypse helps us cope better than spiraling into despair. We hope maybe it might do the same for you. Sometimes sharing a nervous laugh about the things that terrify us can make them feel a little more manageable.

We’re endlessly grateful to the infamous publishing house Andrews McMeel for taking a chance on our odd little collection.

4-Panel Comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: A news reporter, standing in a floating transparent water pod, says, "Since becoming a water planet, things have been difficult." Panel 2: The reporter continues, "We’ve adapted by using water pods as a mode of transport." In the background, people are seen moving around inside similar floating pods. Panel 3: Two people inside separate pods try to kiss, but their pods squish against each other with a squeak sound. Panel 4: The reporter, maintaining a serious expression, states, "It has made reproduction quite difficult," while in the background, the couple struggles with their pods.

If you pick up “Hi, Earth,” we hope it gives you a quiet chuckle, or if we’re really lucky, a full-on snort-laugh that makes the people around you uncomfortable. That’s really all we were aiming for.

Get it via Amazon, Barnes & Noble or BAM. Or order it through your local bookstore!

With humble appreciation,
Elizabeth and Jonathan

Comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: A man stands beside a bench where a woman is sitting. He asks, "What are you doing?" Panel 2: The woman, seated with her hands clasped, replies, "I'm having fun inside my head." Panel 3: The man, now looking intrigued, asks, "Can I join you?" The woman responds simply, "Yes." Panel 4: The man sits beside the woman on the bench, both looking serene as a single cloud floats in the sky.

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!
