THE POET is a daily comic strip about celebrating the little things, often described as being like PEANUTS, but if Linus was an old man and Woodstock had an attitude. Making It Up As I Go Along is the eighth collection of The Poet comic strips, and follows its uniquely thoughtful cast of characters: the Poet, the Pigeon, and the Park Bench as they contemplate our silly place in the grand scheme of things, the meaning of poetry, and donuts. Among the many treasures to be found in this delightful collection, The Poet discovers a tree stump in the woods, the Pigeon takes on the elements, and the Park Bench experiences a transcendent moment. "The Poet has a sense of humor about thinking hard and feeling deeply while not apologizing for such outrageous behavior. It's refreshing."- Hal Hartley, film director "Serene, existential, and self aware, Todd Webb's The Poet is a humorous and ultimately helpful respite from... everything." - Adam J. Kurtz, author of Things Are What You Make of Them: Life Advice for Creatives "These gently funny comics strike a happy balance between dreaminess and the corporeal world... an inarguably good thing." - Heather Christle, poet and author of What is Amazing and The Crying Book "Todd Webb has figured out what poetry was missing all these years - PICTURES!" - Derek Drymon, executive producer of Adventure Time "I have been a joy-filled fan of Todd's work on The Poet for as long as I can remember. - Kevin Pollak, actor & comedian "Poets like poems, and birds like donuts. This Poet and bird share the crumbs of their life with love, and the occasional jab in the ribs." - John Porcellino, cartoonist King-Cat Comics & Stories "I love The Poet. It reminds me of how we can be delicate and pompous at the same time..." - Tom Hart, cartoonist & founder of The Sequential Artists Workshop "Webb whittles and peels back layers to find more and more in these spare but vast strips. A man, a bench, a pigeon; THE WORLD. They hang out up the street from Charlie Brown and in the wake of Thoreau, Bushmiller and Cage." - The Comics Journal
