For mature audiences.

The entire Eltingville Club saga. Every Milk and Cheese comic. All the fun strips, gag panels and stories from Dork.

The entire shebang is now available in one big-ass Omnibus edition, a staggering display of satire, silliness, and stupidity featuring all the Eisner, Harvey, and Ignatz award-winning humor comics by semi-esteemed and somewhat-beloved cartoonist Evan Dorkin. It’s going to sell out and you will cry if you don’t get a copy, so get to it, kids (This message was approved by Evan’s therapist).

“Evan’s calcium-rich creations are guaranteed to spread lactose intolerance everywhere.”—David Mazzucchelli (Asterios Polyp, Batman: Year One)

“Milk and Cheese is the cream of the comic crop, a butter-bomb of hilarity, and one other lactose-based metaphor.”—Patton Oswalt (Ratatouille, Minor Threats)

“Dorkin is a powerful man, and this is powerful stuff—you buy this book, you’ll black out, probably wake up in prison. But don’t let that stop you.”—Bryan Lee O’Malley (Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life)
