The front book cover of “Hi, Earth” (by Elizabeth Pich, Jonathan Kunz) on the right side: Planet earth, sitting on a chair surrounded by fire with the blue sky in the back. On the right, in the background, plastic waste can be seen lying on grass around a garbage bin. The back cover of “Hi, Earth” on the left: A blue sky with fire at the bottom. The sun is shining and grimacing in the top right, behind a 4-panel comic strip. Text below: “This hilarious and bittersweet collection of comics from the webcomic War and Peas pays tribute to a subject near and dear to us all: PLANET EARTH.
