Humor

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.
