Hi, Earth

By Elizabeth Pich & Jonathan Kunz. Published by Andrews McMeel. 

Hardcover, 104 pages, Colour, 2025. 

This bittersweet but lighthearted book from one of the funniest duos in webcomics roasts our human folly while also creating moments of wonder and appreciation for our beautiful, fragile, messed-up planet.

The webcomics duo War and Peas presents a hilariously irreverent book of comics paying tribute to a subject near and dear to all of us: Planet Earth. Utilizing underrepresented points of view including those of animals, icebergs, anthropomorphized recyclables, the ghosts of trees, aliens, a horny flower, and a teenage praying mantis named Timmy who is understandably terrified of his species’ mating process, Hi, Earth packs a Noah’s Ark-size cast into just over 100 delightful pages. These sweet and apocalyptic comics celebrate the wonders and weirdness of Earth even as we hurtle toward an uncertain future.
