Iβm pleased to announce that a new book of my cartoons is now available. Itβs the ninth collection of my Church Times cartoons, titled βThe PCC Strikes Backβ (title will make more sense to those within C of E circles).
Itβs 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 youβll have seen in the previous 66 episodes of this newsletter, but also some new ones. Topics tackled include:
Technology Problems. Why canβt 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 canβt I remember which light switch does what?
*45
THANK YOU to everyone who has, at one point or another, sent me Household Problems ideas. Some of them are in there. Please donβt be too offended if yours isnβt β it was the deadline rather than the quality of your suggestion.
Youβre announcing this very close to Christmas, Dave.Why?Β 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 thereβs still time for Christmas delivery.
Who has published it?Β Itβs self published, via Amazon KDP.
How much is it?Β In the UK β Β£7.99. USA $10.69.
Where do I get it?Β 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]?Β The very short answer: This book wouldnβt 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 Iβm doing what I need to do to make it viable. [Thereβs a longer answer to this question and some additional FAQs in Part 2 of my newsletter, for Paid subscribers,]
