A Waste of Time $7.99 – $19.99
The first full-length collection of irreverent and sweet comic strips from Rick Worley. Featuring a foreword by StevieD and EvilJeff from the Comic Book Queers podcast.
Foul-mouthed, sex-obsessed and misanthropic, Rick is no ordinary cute cartoon rabbit. The strips in this hysterically funny, surprisingly sweet collection range from fantasy tales about a closeted fundamentalist teddy bear, an oversexed fox, and a doomed robot love affair to autobiographical comics that share maybe a little too much information about the author. In their quest for contentment, the characters fail, fail, and sometimes fail again, but they never stop looking. There’s always the chance they’ll find that one person who was worth the search.
Or maybe not.
RAVES:
“There’s a brutal frankness and honesty coming from these foxes and teddy bears that you rarely see anywhere else. Comics are the one of the last havens to be truly offensive and beautifully unapologetic.” — from the foreword by StevieD and EvilJeff from the Comic Book Queers podcast.
“Beautifully drawn, hilarious, wistful, profane and very human. Rick Worley’s A Waste of Time knocked me out.” — Robert Kirby, creator of Curbside, Boy Trouble and THREE.
“Rick Worley’s insightful A Waste of Time comic strips are simultaneously tender and perverse—like his bunny.” — Howard Cruse, author of Stuck Rubber Baby and Wendel.

Broken Frontier –
“This look at life in Seattle’s ‘gay-bourhood’ is graphic, crass, and pretty darn funny, which it owes to Chris Lange’s honest writing and the serious sociopolitical issues that lie at the comic’s foundation: artistic freedom and human rights.” Read Reid Vanier’s review on Broken Frontier.
Pacific Center for Human Growth –
“It’s in this easy and familiar tone where Capitol Hillbillies gets most of its appeal: it feels a lot like joking around with your buddies. Only your buddies constantly have the perfect witty responses to your misfortunes and also one of them is naked all the time and sometimes a talking unicorn shows up.” Read Ellen Perry’s review on Pacific Center for Human Growth.
Sequential Tart –
“The tag line for the comic is ‘because sodomy is funny’, and that is a big clue to the kind of humor you’ll find here. Dick jokes, sex jokes, jokes involving Beyoncé, the local Capitol Hill gay culture scene, the occasional strips on hot button topics such as Proposition 8 and same sex marriage. If you find any of that potentially offensive, then this collection is not for you.” Read Patti Martinson’s review on Sequential Tart.
