1st printing. Story and art by David Malki. Dark Horse Comics presents this second hardbound collection of David Malki's nationally syndicated Wondermark, a sarcastic, silly, and razor-sharp gag comic strip created entirely from nineteenth century woodcuts and engravings. A follow-up to 2008's critically acclaimed Beards of our Forefathers, Clever Tricks to Stave Off Death contains over one hundred comic strips originally published in The Onion and on wondermark.com, as well as many pages of additional material-such as Malki's eight-page graphic story "Ransom!" and, as promised, a bevy of techniques intended to help the reader delay the inevitable onset of their own demise-written and designed in Malki's trademark hilarious style. New installments of Wondermark appear twice weekly at http://wondermark.com/, along with a hilarious blog from David Malki! The Wondermark site enjoys over 172,000 unique visitors per month. Wondermark is nationally syndicated in the print edition of The Onion, enjoying a circulation of over 700,000!
