“It is truly incredible that Cyanide & Happiness is reaching this monumental milestone and beyond that built an empire of comics, games, animation, and so much more. Dave, Kris, and Rob’s irreverent, often dark, always at least mildly inappropriate sense of humor created the blueprint for many webcomics putting them in a category of one on the internet for two decades, and we at BOOM! Studios are truly honored to be part of their continuing story.” -President of Publishing & Marketing, Filip Sablik.

“Yeah, this is pretty cool I guess. I like books. I hope people buy it.” -Dave McElfatrick

“We are making a new book.” -Kris Wilson
