Hi, Earth - Hardcover

by Jonathan Kunz (Author), Elizabeth Pich (Author)

This bittersweet but lighthearted book from one of the funniest duos in webcomics roasts our human folly while also creating moments of wonder and appreciation for our beautiful, fragile, messed-up planet.

The webcomics duo War and Peas presents a hilariously irreverent book of comics paying tribute to a subject near and dear to all of us: Planet Earth. Utilizing underrepresented points of view including those of animals, icebergs, anthropomorphized recyclables, the ghosts of trees, aliens, a horny flower, and a teenage praying mantis named Timmy who is understandably terrified of his species' mating process, Hi, Earth packs a Noah's Ark-size cast into just over 100 delightful pages. These sweet and apocalyptic comics celebrate the wonders and weirdness of Earth even as we hurtle toward an uncertain future.

Author Biography

Elizabeth Pich and Jonathan Kunz are comics artists who live and work in Saarbr?cken, Germany. Pich and Kunz met at art school, and began their collaboration in 2011. What started out as a blog for silly doodles and nonsensical comics eventually turned into a weekly comic strip with an enthusiastic and rapidly growing fan base. War and Peas strips give a funny look at different types of situations, mostly dealing with unfulfilled desires, humans and technology, and generally have a sad twist ending. The authors write together and usually alternate drawing.
