Iโm pleased to announce that a new book of my cartoons is now available. Itโs the ninth collection of my Church Times cartoons, titled โThe PCC Strikes Backโ (title will make more sense to those within C of E circles).
Itโs available by ordering from your local bookshop, or buy online via my books page.
Household Problems: Domestic Incompetence in Diagrams is a collection of more than 44* cartoons, including some youโll have seen in the previous 66 episodes of this newsletter, but also some new ones. Topics tackled include:
Technology Problems. Why canโt someone invent a printer that works?
Kitchen Problems. Where are we going to put one more kitchen gadget?
Garden Problems. Is that a weed, or a valid plant?
Living Room Problems. Why canโt I remember which light switch does what?

THANK YOU to everyone who has, at one point or another, sent me Household Problems ideas. Some of them are in there. Please donโt be too offended if yours isnโt โ it was the deadline rather than the quality of your suggestion.
Youโre announcing this very close to Christmas, Dave.Why?ย Yes, I know. But this year has been complicated, so December was the only time I could get to work on it. And here we are. But good news: At the time of writing thereโs still time for Christmas delivery.
Who has published it?ย Itโs self published, via Amazon KDP.
How much is it?ย In the UK โ ยฃ7.99. USA $10.69.
Where do I get it?ย Amazon. UK, or USA, or the different European Amazon sites, Australia, Japan, you name it. Links below.
OK, I have to ask. Why Amazon? Why not [some alternative]?ย The very short answer: This book wouldnโt have met the criteria a conventional book publisher would require. And being a full-time cartoonist is a privilege, but also challenging to make work, and Iโm doing what I need to do to make it viable. [Thereโs a longer answer to this question and some additional FAQs in Part 2 of my newsletter, for Paid subscribers,]
