TRONDHEIM’S BACK WITH MORE NOTHINGSNBM puts cartoonist’s blog on its website as an advance peek at his new trade paperback


Lewis Trondheim, author of the best-selling DUNGEON, A.L.I.E.E.E.N., and MR. O, is bringing his comics blog back to NBM Publishing’s website. The ongoing blog, available at www.nbmpub.com/news/littlenothingblog.html, presents selections from the new LITTLE NOTHINGS: THE PRISONER SYNDROME -- the sequel to the popular LITTLE NOTHINGS: THE CURSE OF THE UMBRELLA. Drawing himself as a duck-headed everyman, Trondheim portrays the problems of modern life with warm humor.



The response to the first volume of Trondheim’s blogs has been rapturous. For instance:

• “Quirky, cute, and yet microdetailed with the inflections of a peculiar life, Little Nothings is a hoot.” -- The Onion

• “Beautifully scribbled strips center on such existential hiccups as extreme self-doubt, spontaneous superstitions and unjustified paranoia.” -- The Washington Post

• “One is left feeling comforted by the shared absurdities of life in the 21st century. A charmingly lighthearted stroll through life.” -- Publishers Weekly

• ”Extraordinary artist.” -- Booklist



LITTLE NOTHINGS: THE PRISONER SYNDROME will be on sale in January. It’s a 128-page, full-color, 6” x 9” trade paperback with a cover price of $14.95 and ISBN 978-1-56163-548-1. LITTLE NOTHINGS: THE CURSE OF THE UMBRELLA (ISBN 978-1-56163-523-8) is still available.
