This is a collection of some excellent Wondermark comic strips. They range from high to low comedy, invoking both poop-humor and complicated, self-referential ironic commentary.

"Beards of our Forefathers" was my first foray into the world of Wondermark. I only encountered it thanks to stumbling across Machine of Death. This book has some really impressive detailing in it, making it a pretty read, while simultaneously being filled with delightful comics and anecdotes. What more could you ask for, really? Especially from a comic anthology.

Exactly like the illustrations on Trader Joes products, except the humor is a little less food based and has more dead babies. Also it hates hipsters for some reason which just makes hipsters like it more.
