Happy book birthday, @aubreyhirsch.bsky.social!!

Folks, I’ve read “Graphic Rage” and it’s INCREDIBLE!

In fact, I interviewed Aubrey recently about it and soon you can read that too. But buy this book first; and read it with your whole family (hamsters too).

Also--if you who don't own a print copy yet, the book's price has increased w/the 3rd print run (rising print costs; we're sorry too) but we're sitting on a small stash of the 2nd print run in our office...so if you want to buy your copy at the cheaper rate, make sure you do it directly with us!

Day 3 of our Five Questions with @aubreyhirsch.bsky.social sch and she is making me post this graphic with an anglerfish on it--me, a person who refuses to go beyond ankle-deep in the ocean SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE OF CREATURES LIKE THESE! Thanks, Aubrey. Just buy GRAPHIC RAGE, y'all.

Five Questions with Aubrey Hirsch: If your book was an animal, what kind of animal would it be? Response: An anglerfish, specifically, female! Then there is a drawing of a female anglerfish (the most terrifying creature to exist on planet earth) as well as a male anglerfish (a tiny, slimy baby).
