No, your eyes do not deceive you, friend! After a 15-year hiatus, graphic thespian F.C. Ware returns to his intimate, confounding, and eyesight-straining series THE ACME NOVELTY DATEBOOK!
The third and most definitely final volume of the series brings Ware’s sketchbook musings up-to-date, leaving the fusty 20th century behind to cast an eye at the wonders of modern life, from the pains and pleasures of family life to the the unmitigated joy of isolating from the world during the pandemic! Not to mention dozens of revealing comic strips, assorted sketches of unsuspecting public transit riders, and loving studies of bygone cartoons and other nostalgic ephemera!
But that’s not all. This gorgeous cloth-bound volume is designed to perfectly integrate with the previously-released volumes, making an eye-catching and color-coordinated set that is sure to be the envy of anyone who spots these on your bookshelf! Throw in a custom-designed slipcase and you’ve got THE publishing sensation of the season! Don’t miss out on this one…
