From the pages of The Onion and the wry mind of cartoonist Shannon Wheeler comes the silliest-and most charmingly packaged-collection of new comics you'll see this year. For more than ten years Wheeler has cultivated a distinctly pointed and playful sense of humor in the pages of his independent comics, Too Much Coffee Man and How to Be Happy. Postage Stamp Funnies frames his wit with even more focus, as each cartoon delivers its punch in a single postage stamp-sized panel. * This delightful boxed set of three tiny hardcover books revisits the first year of Wheeler's run in the legendary college humor newspaper.

For longer than a decade Shannon Wheeler's flagship character Too Much Coffee Man has cast his tender, cynical gaze on lots of stuff that deserves to be made fun of, from the insipidity of coffee consumer culture to the horrendous reality of dating. This latest collection of short cartoons takes a step back from the cartoonist's usual scrutiny of mundane pettiness and takes a somewhat sweeter look at life's bigger issues. The result is the funniest, most sharply executed collection of Wheeler's comics ever.

Too Much Coffee Man is not so much about coffee as it is about life and figuring things out; there's a lot of free-thinking, bad puns, slapstick humor, and nickel philosophy. This unique collection features three, eight-page stories, a 32-page DHP story, the notorious seven-page, bullet-hole story, at least 65 individual, one-page strips, and an introduction by "Beavis and Butthead" creator, Mike Judge. Available in both softcover and limited-edition hardcover collections, both fully caffeinated!

Shannon Wheeler is an ambitious cartoonist who turned a minicomic character into a long-running newspaper strip, Eisner-winning comic book series, Converse shoe commercial, one of the first webcomics, and an opera. His dedication includes hand-stapling 20,000+ mini-comics and shooting 3,000+ comics with a .22 rifle. It's been a 20+ year adventure with Too Much Coffee Man. The semi-autobiographical, hyper-intellectual, high-concept comic appeals to both inside and outside the comic book world. Even Henry Rollins says Too Much Coffee Man is “the only comic I would really pay attention to, because I like the idea. Too Much Coffee Man has a lot to say. He's a great apocalyptic philosopher for our very troubled times.” Holy crap. That’s Henry Rollins. The Too Much Coffee Man Omnibus, at over 500 pages, was a pain in the ass to put together. It was solicited and cancelled multiple times - becoming one of the most anticipated books around. Many editors were fired and a few of them went insane. Wheeler said “I stopped going to conventions and slept in my closet because too many people asked me about the Too Much Coffee Man Omnibus.” Wheeler is once again making public appearances. The book is real, it is in stores, weighs as much as a small child, and it’s getting attention. Too Much Coffee Man Omnibus collects five books previously published by Dark Horse: - Too Much Coffee Man: Parade of Tirade - Too Much Coffee Man: Guide for the Perplexed - Too Much Coffee Man: Amusing Musings - Too Much Coffee Man: How to Be Happy - Screw Heaven, When I Die I'm Going To Mars - as well as a number of unpublished brand new Too Much Coffee Man stories!

A deluxe hardcover featuring 32 new color story pages! This 600-page Omnibus Plus edition features five previously published Too Much Coffee Man books, plus an all-new color section! These semiautobiographical, hyperintellectual tales will appeal to both comic book insiders and pop culture fanatics. The most complete Too Much Coffee Man collection! * Bonus color Too Much Coffee Man adventures included! * Celebrating the work of Shannon Wheeler in a deluxe hardcover!

A stalwart of the alternative comics scene, Shannon Wheeler has forged ever forward, wrapping his popular signature character around numerous social, political, and philosophical subjects. From consumer culture to self-confidence to bad media, Too Much Coffee Man wades through the underarm of human existence, centering on those habits we hate to love: liquor, cigarettes, ego, gambling, and, of course, caffeine. Observe Too Much Coffee Man as he encounters reality programming, cognitive dissonance, waifish super-models, infotainment, hot McDonald's coffee, and haiku. Encapsulating the intellectual café culture of metropolitan America, Too Much Coffee Man does your thinking for you -- but the drinking, that's still your responsibility!

Too Much Coffee Man has been applauded by both the Washington Post and Wired Magazine. Now, he takes control as the eminent icon of caffeine culture in his new book: Too Much Coffee Man's Parade of Tirade. Fill your cup with dark satire, and drink deep from these thoughtful, award-winning comics. Witness TMCM's secret origin! Marvel as our hero battles corporate oppression!
