The book cover features a cartoon Earth with googly eyes wearing a cowboy hat, surrounded by flames. The setting includes numerous houseplants in the background, creating a cozy, plant-filled environment that appears to be a café or bookstore.

The book is here and it’s all that you can wish for – as an author and a reader. The pages are made of beautiful, thick paper and the colors are what industry professionals and bookstore owners would call vibrant. It is a huge step forward to anything we’ve done before!

War and Peas - Book Spread - Elizabeth Pich and Jonathan Kunz

“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

War and Peas - Skim Through - Elizabeth Pich and Jonathan Kunz

“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).”
