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.

Sequential Tart –
“’Treehouse of Solitude’ is my favorite out of the bunch. It deals with a teen girl named Abigail who has a crush on a boy. When she overhears him talking about dressing up as a superhero, she is thrilled and runs off to finish her own superheroine costume. Needless to say, she winds up being ridiculed and runs away, but meets someone else who has a different viewpoint. I just loved how this was drawn and colored—it so very much looks like a TN cartoon in the best way possible. Abigail is an extremely appealing character, and I liked how she found a kindred spirit who is also into superheroes. It just made me warm and fuzzy all over.” Read Patti Martinson’s whole review on Sequential Tart
Coverless Reviews –
“Here’s two anthology issues featuring a variety of writers and artists, from the mainstream and well known, to the very alternative and obscure telling largely poignant stories about issues of bullying. Most comic fans are aware of names like Marc Guggenheim, Howard Chaykin, Marc Andreyko, Sina Grace & Chris Roberson, but there are many other writers and artists involved in these two issues that grabbed my attention with their work here.” Read the whole review on Coverless Reviews
Broken Frontier –
“And the uplifting message behind Rise is that whatever seems to be stacked against us, we can all find a place we belong and we can all write our own tale of triumph. This is a comic and a project well worth your support.” Read the whole review on Broken Frontier
