Life Is A Donut: Selected Cartoons from THE POET - Volume 3

The Poet is the comic strip quietly taking the internet by storm - one unsuspecting new reader at a time - and has been described as being like PEANUTS but if Linus was an old man and Woodstock had an attitude. Life Is A Donut is the third collection of The Poet comic strips and follows its uniquely thoughtful cast of characters: the Poet the Pigeon and the Park Bench as they contemplate our silly place in the grand scheme of things the meaning of poetry and donuts. The Poet has a sense of humor about thinking hard and feeling deeply while not apologizing for such outrageous behavior. Its refreshing. - Hal Hartley film directorSerene existential and self aware Todd Webbs The Poet is a humorous and ultimately helpful respite from... everything. - Adam J. Kurtz author of Things Are What You Make of Them: Life Advice for CreativesThese gently funny comics give a glimpse of a poet making his way in the world accompanied by a somewhat skeptical bird. The two in combination strike a happy balance between dreaminess and the corporeal world so that what emerges is an overall sense of love for poetry and its makers - the kind of love thats intimate enough to make space for poking fun. (It also makes space for a talking bench which is an inarguably good thing.) - Heather Christle poet and author of What is Amazing and The Crying BookTodd Webb has figured out what poetry was missing all these years - PICTURES! - Derek Drymon creative director of SpongeBob Squarepants & executive producer of Adventure Time
