Benjamin Dewey’s popular online comic is finally compiled in
one collection for your melancholy-tinged enjoyment! The
Tragedy Series is comprised of more than 500 sepia-toned
vignettes that present those less than rosy paths available
to us all. From such heartrending examples of schadenfreude
as "triceratops never got to see the ocean" and "taxidermist
and necromancer make bad roommates" to the necessary
morale-boost of 26 "sadness reprieves," all of life’s peaks
and valleys are accounted for. Avoid the hurdles presented
by keeping your lobster claws a secret, and many other
possible missteps, with the help of the many counter
examples found herein. One part Victoriana, one part theatre
of the absurd, and the rest full of heart, these
illustrations delight the mind and the eye. The book features exclusive content that includes a 22-page
comic adventure, an illustrated introduction by the author
and a 100-part puzzle laced within the comics themselves
(with a corresponding solution). The Tragedy Series started
online but it was destined to have a place on your shelf
alongside dusty tomes of forgotten medieval lore, tales of
urchins made good, and cryptozoological textbooks of bygone
eras.
