Manfried and Steve are back!
In May 2018, graphic novel readers were introducted to Manfried the Man, "a simple tale of affection, devotion, and worry" (Vulture) that charmed readers and built on the cult following of the original web comic of the same name. Now, Manfried and Steve are back in a new adventure in Manfried Saves the Day.
Set in a world where cats rule and tiny naked men are kept as pets, Manfried Saves the Day revisits Catlanta a few months after the events of the first book. Finding newfound popularity as a cartoonist, former slacker Steve is struggling to balance work, his new relationship with Henrietta, and volunteering at the Catlanta Man Shelter. Manfried is facing his own issues: Steve's newly adopted stray man, the cuter and sweeter Garfield. But when a literal fat cat banker puts the man shelter at risk, Steve, Manfried, Henrietta, and a crew of furry friends must enter the Manflower Man Show to save what's important to them.
We're so excited to get back to Catlanta. Can't wait for the book? Preorder a copy to be entered to win a seriously cool, one-of-a-kind commission.
