On a (mostly) daily basis, little Sadbook human makes your day over at sadbook.substack.com. You never know what your favorite stick figure human will be up to! From existential crises to dreamy meditations looking out the window, from dramatic “I’ll never recover!” days to “I’M SO INSPIRED I’LL NEVER BE UNINSPIRED AGAIN!!!” nights, it’s fun to see what Sadbook will do next.
But what about when you want to look back and remember your faves? How can you easily find them? Well, now you can get the whole third year’s collection of Sadbook human’s adventures—in a happy book form!
Perfect for days when you need a smile. Makes a nice gift book, too, so Sadbook has heard from friends.
