Tipsy mermaids and rare Wolverton reprints highlight this batch of humor comics!
You'll see that I'll try to include a little order code with most items (ex:JUL200019). Show some love to your retailer and use those codes when you can, it saves a lot of time on the data entry end of things.
THIRSTY MERMAIDS GN
(W) Kat Leyh (A) Kat Leyh
Fresh out of shipwreck wine, three tipsy mermaids decide to magically masquerade as humans and sneak onto land to indulge in much more drinking and a whole lot of fun in the heart of a local seaside tourist trap. But the good times abruptly end the next morning as, through the haze of killer hangovers, the trio realizes they never actually learned how to break the spell, and are now stuck on land for the foreseeable future! Now they crash with the bartender as they struggle to make sense of the world, and make the most of their current situation!

Why this caught my eye:
So this is actually out now and I'm just late in featuring it, but I love Kat Leyh so much and I wanted to make sure and put some focus on this release. Leyh's Snapdragon was one of my favorite books to come out last year and she brings me so much joy, so make sure to check out some of her work if you ever need a mental pick-me-up.
SCOOP SCUTTLE & HIS PALS TP WOLVERTON
(W) Basil Wolverton (A) Basil Wolverton
This Basil Wolverton retrospective collects the ultra-rare classics Scoop Scuttle, Mystic Moot, Bingbang Buster, and Jumpin' Jupiter as they've never been seen before! When first published in 10 comic books, Wolverton's intricate line work was routinely obscured. In this collection, every effort has been made to restore the art to its original splendor, and to at last present the uniquely detailed graphics of this justly revered comic book master.

Why this caught my eye:
Fantagraphics does great work with their reprints and it's nice to get rare books that haven't been in print in forever, especially for Wolverton.
ANTIFA SUPER SOLDIER COOKBOOK ONE SHOT
(W) Matt Lubchansky (A) Matt Lubchansky
What if everything the Right thought about the Left was real? Accomplished ANTIFA operative Max Marx is about to get the big promotion: body augmentation to become a fully-fledged super-soldier in their never-ending battle to destroy the police, the American way of life, gender, capitalism, and anything else they deem "fascist."

Why this caught my eye:
You can check out a preview (and buy the book directly) here, and check out more of Lubchansky's work from the NIB here. I just like checking out new Silver Sprocket releases and supporting them.
Also, c'mon, the secret button for the super-soldier program is hidden under a homemade kombucha flyer:

I follow Pitch's War & Peas on Instagram so it's nice to see this material coming to print at Silver Sprocket. You can sample plenty of FunGirl and War & Peace for free.

Why this caught my eye:
We had a nice Giant Days following at the store so wanted to make sure and spotlight that this collection was finally coming out. Allison has a great sense of humor and Sarin's art is just fantastic.
That's it for this batch, we'll hit art books on the next round!
