1st printing. By Shannon Wheeler. Too Much Coffee Man has been percolating in the comics underground for years now, and like everything else that was once "alternative," he's sold out, been used by the man (as an advertising tool for Hewlitt Packard and Converse, among others), and is now middle-aged, depressed, broke, and cynical. Who better to write a book, then, called How to be Happy? In this, Shannon Wheeler's most timely and funniest book to date, the hyper-maniacal, coffee-cup-headed anti-hero laments the state of American democracy, global warming, living under the confusing cloud of terrorist threats, sexual politics, debilitating personal neuroses, and all sorts of other really fun and lighthearted topics! Combining his signature formula of hilarious art, absurd but insightful observations, and bold humor, with his quickly deteriorating hope for humanity, Wheeler has crafted a comics collection custom made for the disaffected and disenfranchised. Too Much Coffee Man is the star of a long-running comic strip featured in alternative weekly newspapers in cities across the country including Atlanta, Austin, Spokane, Eugene, and more. Softcover, 144 pages, B&W. Cover price $12.95.
