He Lost His Keys In Space
Earth's first and worst ambassador, Vega Ulysses, has freshly completed a tumultuous twelve-year mission of galactic diplomacy, paid off his mortgage, and can finally return home to Earth. There's just one problem — he lost his keys in space!
Now, with his reluctant crew of outsiders in tow, Vega must retrace his steps, searching wild, diverse planets teeming with hostile aliens, silly robots and rude cosmic entities — all forcing him to confront the havoc he has wreaked while haphazardly advancing Earth's selfish, consumerist agenda.
A delirious take on sci-fi cartoons of the eighties, He Lost His Keys in Space reads like an entire animated series in a book.

“The colorful cartoony art leans into the ridiculousness with sight gags playing on Milton and Lang’s outrageous alien worlds… Fans of lighthearted sci-fi like Futurama and Star Trek: Lower Decks will get a kick out of this.”
— Publishers Weekly
“The dialogue [is] often hilarious, with some sharp commentary about the deviousness of institutions.”
— Ian Keogh, Slings & Arrows
“Far more charming and poignant than I was expecting.”
— John Dodge, Vocal / Geeks
ANIMALS RULE THIS LAND
“The world has ended, you’re the only human left in a village full of erratic, freshly-evolved animals, and a maniacal rabbit in a vest is gifting you a blood-covered toaster.
They say they want to be friends, so why are you constantly being drugged and threatened by henchmen, kidnapped and insulted by the dog next door, and falling prey to a seemingly friendly duck who's running an unnecessarily complicated bread scam?
The animals have taken over, and it’s time to pay the price for drinking all that milk, eating all those eggs, and coveting an unquantifiable amount of chicken nuggets. And where the hell did your cat go?
If you like watching Saturday morning cartoons under the influence, or prefer your animals double-crossing, you're sure to enjoy Animals Rule This Land.
“A terrifying comic, instilled with a deeply unnerving sinister atmosphere, a fever dream you can't tear your eyes away from. Oh and it also is very funny.” GOODREADS
“An absolute wild ride from beginning to end. The story starts weird and only gets crazier from there. Filled with hilarious jokes and a unique style of illustration, Animals Rule This Land is a terrifying look at a world where humans are no longer in control.” GOODREADS
