A BoneQuest Special Presentation
Hey you: Download all books for free.
2003
Our first printing experiment was The Big Book of Jerkcity, comics gathered from the first 6 years, lovingly laid them out in book form. About 200 books were printed in total, sold over time through the Rotten.com store for about nineteen dollars.
The first edition was published under our (short-lived) boutique publishing imprint called Baby Milk Factory.
The printer was super patient with us, explaining DPI and bleed and all that stuff.
2009
A one-off, 577 page (!!) hardcover book titled DEUCE'S SHITS containing tweets from deuce, 1 per page, from 2007-2009.
Sadly, never released this to the public or printed additional volumes.
2010
We experimented with on-demand printing by creating two volumes of BoneQuest comics laid out as poems in Leo the Lion and Other Poems and All Those Prostitutes and Other Poems. We sold books on Lulu but, somehow, never saw a dime from them.
The original volume is available as a Kindle book from Amazon.
We were never paid for this either!
What a rip-off.
2012
Nine years after the first edition of BBOJ, we managed to raise money through Kickstarter to re-print The Big Book of Jerkcity. The second edition included an index and properly rendered our GIF images at a printable DPI.
Both editions contain a typo on the back cover, we cannot spell the word "Camaro" to save our lives.
2023
Several paperback books printed:
Leo the Lion and Other Poems was re-edited and re-printed. We laid out Leo the Lion by-hand using Adobe Indesign.
We created our first paperback of comics titled Everybody Loves Deuce immediately after Leo was finished. We make our paperback books using Typst.
Design was inspired by the original 1960s-era Peanuts paperbacks.
2024
To celebrate the launch of our massive multiplayer interactive fiction game BoneQuest: Quest for the Bone, we generated a walk-through of the game in paperback form: BoneQuest: Quest for the Bone (A Big Dumb Walkthrough)
Bookplate
Bonus
Never released but maybe someday:
