Of course, it&#8217;s possible that it&#8217;s only excellent because it covers a very specific period of time for a very specific purpose: Tom wanted to write a 50,000 word novel over November of 2005. Lazy cartoonists take note: this man did a diary strip every day of the month, with most of them being pretty damned funny and a good chunk of them being artistically intricate, all while managing to finish that novel of his. No idea what happened with the novel, as I couldn&#8217;t find anything about it on the website, but luckily I could find scads of free comics, including pretty much everything in this book (look for &#8220;Novelber&#8221;). Subjects in here include a sick cat, poop, sex, drinking, Dr. Phil, Jeopardy, oysters, rain, pam jams, Beavis and Butthead, Katamari, and little feet. Oh, and the fact that he kept a running daily word total of his novel was a nice touch. As for the sample, sure, I could have picked a funnier one, as there were many funny moments in here, but I can never resist a good Katamari strip. This is probably $2 or $3, but if you&#8217;re cheap it&#8217;s all there on the website and you could put that money you saved to use buying something more recent from the man, as from this I&#8217;d say it&#8217;s a pretty safe bet for quality work&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/novelber2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" hspace=\"0\" align=\"bottom\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website The Novelber Project Huzzah for another excellent diary comic!
