ABOUT
Hast thou ever been ghosted by a suitor? Courted a king only to find he was a jester? Suffered the malady known as “the ick”? If so, this tome is for thee.
Inspired by artist Clarice Tudor’s viral illustrated post, “The Fart,” 'Tis Thee, Not Me is a fresh look at evergreen topics: love, dating, and relationships, illustrated in a medieval, intricately decorated style.
As wise as they are witty, the comics in 'Tis Thee, Not Me tackle:
- Dating horror stories such as: “The Fart That Ended Mine Own Situationship” and “The Merkin”
- Relationship advice that ranges from fairly good to truly terrible "(The Dos and Don’ts of Revenge" and "The 8 Stages of E-Stalking Your Ex’s Ex")
- A retelling of Rapunzel, featuring the array of suitors one would face today
- And more
Hilarious and relatable to all singletons of the realm, this medieval guide to modern dating is sure to turn thine frown upsidedown.
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
