Poochie Press is extremely excited to announce our newest publishing project! Long time indie comic cartoonist, Kelly Froh is a founder of the Short Run comics festival and mainstay of the Seattle scene. We are pleased to release her longest collection of work yet, The Weeknight Casserole Collection. At 36 pages, this behemoth includes beloved favorites from The Best of Mini Comics #1 & #2 as well as some COMPLETELY NEW comics exclusive to the collection!

“Kelly Froh is without a doubt one of my favorite cartoonists working today. Her sweet-natured, but merciless comics lay modern life, in all its absurdity and poignance, on the line every time.” -- John Porcellino, King Cat Comics

Poochie Press will debut The Weeknight Casserole Collection at Autoptic Festival, Aug 8 & 9 in Minneapolis, MN. See you there!

Rob Clough of High-Low Comics is singing the praises of Tom Van Deusen’s Scorched Earth 2 and Eat Eat Eat! Clough calls Scorched Earth, “amazingly over the top and awful.” “ Van Deusen's comics are incredibly mean, but he lands solid and smartly-aimed barbs again and again.”

Check out the full review here!

Tom Van Deusen's devious döppelganger is back in Eat Eat Eat! Originally serialized on Study Group Comics, Eat Eat Eat is available for the first time in its entirety in one beautiful, magazine-sized comic. This time around Tom tackles body issues, food addiction and alcoholism with his typical severe, cynical and humorous style. Drawn over the course of four years, Eat Eat Eat chronicles Van Deusen's progression as an artist, as he refines his drawing style drastically over the span of the book.

"Van Deusen is a major new talent in contemporary comix. In the tradition of Robert Crumb, Harvey Pekar, and Chester Brown, his revealing characterizations are endearing in their honesty while repellant in their execution - a perfect balance of alluring and grotesque. Well rendered and wicked fun." – Larry Reid, Fantagraphics Bookstore

"Tom Van Deusen's comics are really, really funny. He's one of the best. If he has a club I want in." – Noah Van Sciver

25 b&w pages full color cover

The first adventure of the very brave Space Duck!

This incredibly stupid comic was originally started at Dune, ran out of time and finished it at home.

Hey guys,

Very proud to present Mary Fleener's brain-melting reverse cover (on the back, google tête-bêche) to the Real Good Stuff book. Super psychedelic imagery is from the story Noah Van Sciver is illustrating.

WE DID IT - And then some! Thank you so much to all of our backers. In case you missed the update, instead of printing two separate newsprint comic books, we're going to print them together as a trade paper-back, with perfect binding, gorgeous recycled paper and a color insert with illustrations by the great Jim Blanchard. There will still be two issues in one, with covers on opposite sides (think Zap Comix #3) and a clear delineation between issues. We're also increasing the page count to 64 pages to put in more comics, including a story drawn by the late Paul Ollswang. We'll be putting up a link soon for non-Kickstarter pre-orders. And again - THANK YOU!!!!

We reached our stretch goal! A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who donated and shared our Kickstarter!

Since we went so far over our goal, we decided to pass the prosperity on to everyone who kindly donated. Instead of printing two separate newsprint comic books, we're going to print them together as a trade paper-back, with perfect binding, gorgeous recycled paper and a color insert with illustrations by the great Jim Blanchard. There will still be two issues in one, with covers on opposite sides (think Zap Comix #3) and a clear delineation between issues. We're also increasing the page count to 64 pages to put in more comics, including a story drawn by the late Paul Ollswang.

We still would appreciate you sharing the Kickstarter and spreading the word, this will be a fabulous book.

[poochiepress]

We succeeded and then exceeded our goal much faster than we anticipated, so we decided to create a new Stretch Goal to justify more funds coming in and some incredible new rewards for our Kickstarter including the full run of the legendary underground tabloid The Northwest Extra! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/371930985/dennis-p-eichhorns-real-good-stuff/posts/525394
