Like humorous, illustrated books about ridiculous couples and communication issues? We reached our first fundraising goal but we're hoping to get more books out to more hands, and print enough to distribute to select pop culture and indie book stores.

Finding enjoyment in life is difficult right now. You need to read some ridiculous conversations between real people. A book where nobody tells you what you have to do to change the world. Take some you time to laugh at the weird world, and if you want to, color in some pictures.

I'm glad I just started posting my X-readthrough now, as I'm currently reading the late 90s stuff where I'm partway through an #XMen book that tells me I should have read a certain Cable trade first, that lets me know what X-Force story I put on the wrong part of the bookshelf.
