For the progenitor of the format, Ben Snakepit, it has become sheer habit, drawing his life into three panels every day since Dec 23, 2000. That and documenting the events of his life into a macro-digestible format where years of his life can be consumed, processed, and analyzed in one sitting. In the intro, he spells it out like this, Skip ahead 10 years, and everyone and their mother has a MySpace and a Facebook and a Twitter and a Blogspot, writes Snakepit, and the idea of recording and sharing what I did every day in three panels doesn't seem like such a good idea anymore. Ben has always been self-effacing and modest. He describes his work as shitty drawings to read on the toilet and genuinely seems surprised when people like it. Despite this being his fifth book with a real publisher over a period of ten years. He's an accomplished musician, having spent time with Party Garbage, J Church, and even The Sword, but his life has slowed down in recent years, as he approaches 40. But the individual events have never been the point of Snakepit. The point is real life and your ability to digest it in massive doses, often reflecting these events onto your own life.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49586806358289,"sku":"GOR005602042","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1934620386.jpg?v=1751029142"},{"product_id":"one-hundred-columns-for-razorcake-book-ben-snakepit-9781945509797","title":"One Hundred Columns for Razorcake","description":"All of Ben Snakepit's comics for Razorcake magazine, collected into one definitive volume!

There are punk shows, drinking binges, rotating girlfriends, some outstanding days and some where little happens. But each is chronicled by Ben into comic art. Jimmi Payne's Punk Zine summarises his work saying Taken individually, each strip resembles what a friend would say if you asked what they had done that day. Ben sifts through the minutiae of life as well as the full experience of time in a day... years of common actions load into a highly concentrated snapshot that wkaes you up.''","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49911408525585,"sku":"CIN1621067149G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53036475220241,"sku":"GOR014708941","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53193531293969,"sku":"CIN1621067149VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1621067149.jpg?v=1750862804"},{"product_id":"snakepit-gets-old-book-ben-snakepit-9781621065968","title":"Snakepit Gets Old","description":"Eventually you have to accept that it's time to take responsibility.

This collection starts off in San Francisco, but aging parents and a major family emergency cause Ben to move back in Richmond, VA. After 23 years away, Snakepit returns to the place where it all started. His band breaks up, he turns 50, and the world and his life change dramatically, but Ben keeps bringing us a comic-and a song-every day throughout it all. Grown-up punks, fans of outsider art and diary comics, and anyone with aging parents will get it-and once you get it, much like growing older, there's no going back.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51632438149393,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51632438280465,"sku":"NGR9781648415623","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52625585996049,"sku":"NIN9781648415623","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1648415628.jpg?v=1750863344"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-ben-snakepit.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
