The pictures weren't awful. They just whetted my appetite for the book even more.
If I had any dignity that would be humiliating. - Adam Savage, Mythbusters
I've posted a set of blurry iPhone pics of my just-arrived preview copy of Book 1 (coming out from Del Rey on June 23rd, bookstores everywhere etc. but also available right here from Yours Truly). They don't do justice to the actual book, which is a beauty, but I'll try and get my hands on a better camera soon. In the meantime I hope these will suffice!

that's fantastic! i've already read all this, but i'm excited to have a book so that when i'm trying to convince people to read goats and i don't think they'd be open to the idea of reading years of archives on a website, i can just hand them a physical book. "Just read THIS!" i'll say, confident in my knowledge that they'll soon be hooked.
Day one purchase. I love having the strips online, free, and searchable, but to quote somebody who said something about a comic art exhibition at the Hammer Museum last year, comics just aren't framed correctly without a thumb on either side.
Actually the photo isn't bad, looks pretty clear on my end. Congrats on the new book it looks great.
I have been telling myself that I was going to write a book for years now, still have not done it.
Looks great, Jon!
Is it all published strips, or is there new material as well? IMG_0813 seemed new, though maybe it was in "Contains One Space Battle"..

And...a double post. Sorry all. Is Z still around to mock me for it?
There are seven new pages at the beginning of the book leading into the Space Battle intro. It's mostly a quick intro to the core cast for people picking not familiar with the strip. A lot of the art from the early stuff has also been reworked a little here and there for the sake of consistency.
