Elisabeth Pich and Jonathan Kunz, also known as War and Peas, a german-american Duo, publish a comic (1-6 panels) every Sunday on their website (since 2011). Mostly about the wonders and weirdness of earth, highly focusing on human’s wrongdoings, told in a sarcastic way.
This book is a collection of around 100 comics. Each comic is a stand-alone (tiny tale, or in German known as Bierdeckelgeschichte), though some have continuations or recurring characters. Set to release on April 1st, 2025.
Funny, yet tragic. I’m a huge (and annoying, according to those around me) environmentalist, and mostly wanted to cry to these, but the morbid humour works well enough to even make me laugh away my tears.
I love how essentially every being on earth and in space wants to get rid of humans.
I mean, the good thing at least is that earth survived just fine after the humans rotted themselves out. That’s my upmost worry honestly – that earth will die too.
The mantis storyline was my favorite I think, followed by the icebergs. I only didn’t get the shark one, but otherwise very hilariously hidden sad massages. Hopefully it’ll reach some people.

Favorite game/film/book: doesn’t have one, cause there are too many good ones!
About: generalist, who likes a bit of everything, but especially has a love for magic, queerness and melancholy. When they’re not arting, they’re probably dreaming/reading through another world, or spending time in nature with their dog.
