About the author

... Show More
Drew Fairweather, professionally known as Drew, is an American author and artist residing in Vermont. He is notable for being the creator of the webcomic Toothpaste for Dinner, and is the co-creator of Married to the Sea, alongside his wife Natalie Dee Fairweather.
Drew was previously a research chemist and held several patents before transitioning to full-time work with his webcomic Toothpaste for Dinner. His industry work centered around the interactions of nitrogen-bonded urea with silicone gel, which formed the basis for his later music work (under the band name Hell Orbs) as "Piss Admiral Dildo Captain". For the first two years of TFD's existence, Drew worked as a cat photographer to "make ends meet" before it became popular. In September 2006, Drew revealed himself to be the entity behind the electronic musician KOMPRESSOR, which was previously only known by the alias "Andreas K.". Drew has since released other albums under the artist name Dog Traders and CRUDBUMP. On 11 April 2011, Drew published his first novel, Veins.
In 2015 Drew revealed that he was "Mr. Eggs", a notorious internet troll who posted hundreds of times to "Misc," a forum on bodybuilding.com. Drew has also spoken of inserting false “facts” into Wikipedia articles.

I usually read Natalie Dee & Married to the Sea, but Drew's comics require you to read and think a little more, which is nice.

2.5 stars-- These are single-panel little slice-of-life comics about a variety of life's complaints and bizarre moments. I laughed a few times. The drawings are done in that "intentionally bad" doodle style. I feel as if this would be more digestible in its original webcomic format, rather than a book-length collection.

I think I have the same sense of humor as the author - I laughed out loud!

a lot of this was still funny, but it surprised me to see r*tarded so much in something that doesn't feel that very long ago

Some funny jokes, very quirky, some aged like milk, and some have a glorious glaze of nostalgia freeze-framing a 2005 era collection of doodles which is interesting to observe a whole 20 years later. Also I now feel old.

I would have liked these strips more had it not been 25 years since I last worked in an office with other people. It was like reading humour from a completely different culture: fascinating and clever, but I really needed someone to explain to me what was going on.

Some of these were LOL-worthy, but I'm afraid this is what my book's gonna be like, minus pictures. Some of it only works in the author's head.
