Back Cover Copy

Posted on May 30, 2014 by Nathan

I’m getting ready to publish Ethnic Albanians Need Not Apply, the first CheapCaffeine collection. How does this strike you as back cover copy?

INNOCENT ILLUSTRATIONS, RECONTEXTUALIZED AGAINST THEIR WILL!

Plumbing the depths of forgotten illustrations as grist for the mill, the cult webcomic CheapCaffeine is here presented in its first print collection. These first 300 cartoons introduce running gags and recurring characters—the Martian, the Egyptian embalmers, and of course the irrepressible Grievance Gorilla—in a daily dose of surreal, postmodern wit. And now, in semi-permanent dead tree format, accompanied by behind-the-scenes factoids and a smattering of bonus content!!1!, these moments of ephemeral non-sequitur humor can be gifted to luddite relatives, ensconced on the back of the toilet, or placed in studied casualness on a coffee table to impress attractive houseguests!

REMASTERED! REFURBISHED! REUPHOLSTERED!

Spread the love

    I see one typo at least “bonus content!!1!”.

    It sounds interesting. 🙂

      The “1” is intentional. It’s an internet thing.

        Sorry, my bad.

          You’re just not as hip and with it as you thought you were, Daddy-O.

    Get off my lawn you young whipper-snapper! In my day we did not have punctuation and bold lettering, we just punched people in the head to make the point.

    “Plumbing the depths of forgotten illustrations as grist for the mill, the cult webcomic CheapCaffeine is here presented in its first print collection.”

    The word order of “here presented” should be reversed. Doesn’t sound right when I read it out loud. Or you can change “here” to “hereby”.

    Otherwise, it sounds good.
