Hey guys! If you haven’t already heard, I’ve got a book coming out March 22nd!
It’s a collection of all my best parenting cartoons from the first two and a half years of the comic. I’m doing everything I can to encourage folks to pre-order the book. Why? Well, as this humble cartoonist/coffee addict/ tired dad is finding out, the book business is a tricky one. Having a decent pre-order means that the book will be considered a wanted commodity and more places will offer it, and (hopefully) more people will buy it. Which means me and my family can continue to live indoors. (Hopefully.)
As an incentive, I’m going to raffle off an original, framed painting! Better yet, you get some awesome kids’ art, too. I dunno if anything I draw will ever be worth real money, but these kids of mine have gobs of potential. So when they’re famous artists, you can sell your Max and Phoebe early originals and retire comfortably.
All you gotta do is send me an email to: [email protected] with a copy of your preorder receipt. Just something that proves you’ve ordered it. Then, come March 22nd, I’ll gather my kids around the computer, make them close their eyes and point at an email. If it’s you, you get a nicely framed original 8″x10″ watercolor mailed to you for free, anywhere in the world, along with some unframed but equally awesome duck drawings from my kids.
So where can you buy my book?
Well, you likely know where you like to buy books from, but here’s a few suggestions/ direct links.
Amazon US
Indiebound – (To find/order from local US bookstores)
Barnes & Noble US
Amazon Canada
Amazon UK
Booktopia (Australia)
Amazon Germany
Book Depository (ships to many countries)
As an added bonus, here’s a video of me and the kids making the art. (Well…sort of.)
I actually F’d-up the painting in the video trying to just tweak it a *little* bit after the video was done.
But this new painting is almost actually exactly like the original, only nicer and not so F’d up.
Thanks so much guys! Hope you love the book!

I pre-ordered mine the first time that I saw you were making a book! I love your comics! Since I work with parents and young children, I often find my life and their lives in your comics. I have used them as an encouragement for the parents. Letting them know that you are not alone and yes most kids do that! Lol! Thanks.

Ordered my copy, and mailed receipt. Let me say that your comic is more than funny: it's cathartic! I need my daily fix.

I always chuckle - or laugh out loud - at your renderings! They are brilliant! I pre-ordered your book, but I don't know how to find the receipt, but that's okay. Is there a way to order ($) a drawing like the one you painted in your video clip? If I wouldn't have to sell all my belongs to afford it, I would sure like to own one! Please let me know if it would be possible and the cost! I follow you on Faceboook - the only one I do! Thanks for all the laughing!!!!!

I show the cartoons to my 35+ year old son and the most often response is 'Mom! I didn't do that! ............................................ Did I?'

Pre-order done! As a recent father, reading your comics in times of extreme fatigue and sleep deprivation brings the joy of living again. :) Best of luck!
