IDW Publishing will release two titles from award-winning political cartoonist Tom Tomorrow: Crazy is the New Normal and a trade edition of Tom Tomorrow: 25 Years of Tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the creator of This Modern World, a weekly political and social satire cartoon that has run in many alt-weekly newspapers nationwide since 1990. He has won the Herblock Prize, the Aronson Award, the RFK Journalism Award, and was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize this year.
Crazy is the New Normal focuses on the 2016 American Presidential race- including special guest The Incredible Trump. The 128-page softcover volume collects selected This Modern World strips from 2013 – 2016. MSRP is $19.99. Release is planned for September.
Tom Tomorrow: 25 Years of Tomorrow is a hardcover slipcase collection of This Modern World strips. The project was originally funded by a Kickstarter in August 2015 which raised $310,537 from 3,098 backers. Now IDW will publish a trade edition in November. MSRP was not announced.“I’m genuinely excited to finally be able to announce this partnership,” said Tomorrow. “I’m so grateful for the enthusiasm and support of my Kickstarter backers, which made it possible for me to publish my dream project in the first place — but if I hadn’t been approached by IDW, that’s where it would have ended. Now those books will have an extended life, with further printings and bookstore distribution, making them available to an even wider audience, and I couldn’t be happier about that.”
