Elisabeth Pich and Jonathan Kunz, also known as War and Peas, a german-american Duo, publish a comic (1-6 panels) every Sunday on their website (since 2011). Mostly about the wonders and weirdness of earth, highly focusing on human’s wrongdoings, told in a sarcastic way. This book is a collection of around 100 comics.

I mean, the good thing at least is that earth survived just fine after the humans rotted themselves out. That’s my upmost …

I mean, the good thing at least is that earth survived just fine after the humans rotted themselves out. That’s my upmost worry honestly – that earth will die too.
The mantis storyline was my favorite I think, followed by the icebergs. I only didn’t get the shark one, but otherwise very hilariously hidden sad massages. Hopefully it’ll reach some people.
