Books!
It's a sauna down there, and showering becomes a moot point once you're down on the platform. New York has an extensive subway system, which is great, but it's also old, so it wasn't constructed with maximum ventilation in mind. It's usually worth it to wait till you come home to shower, but that's just me.
We have two copies of our book!! Here they are,


Say it with me now: YESSSSSSS! John will take some better pictures for the next update! See you then!

Subway Blues
Comment by MegzHartie (not verified) Tue, 09/07/2010 - 23:55I know how you feel. I'm always begging for the incoming train to cause a gust of wind to cool me off just for a moment of relief. D:
The subways in LA though are
Comment by Anonymous (not verified) Tue, 09/07/2010 - 23:57The subways in LA though are enormous and the weather is always pleasant, its a wonder the transit system in LA isn't as extensive in NY when its so much bigger here and you really need it to get anywhere if you don't have a car. I just moved out of the tri-state and I can recall your pain having traversed those subways oh so many times carrying oh so heavy groceries on the more than packed 6 trains.
also yaaaay books!
Subways
Comment by toutomoutochan (not verified) Wed, 09/08/2010 - 00:05According to my father, before trains were air conditioned, the subway stations were cool (because they're underground). The trains were hot, though.
It's because the air conditioners exhaust a lot of hot air that the stations are now so warm.
Whoa! That's really
Comment by Ananth Wed, 09/08/2010 - 10:22Whoa! That's really interesting, thanks for the trivia. I've learned something new!
This is VERY true. If you
Comment by Snazzy (not verified) Wed, 09/08/2010 - 12:50This is VERY true. If you ever find yourself walking just above the 4, 5, 6 trains @ Union Square... well I hope you are wearing fireproof underwear.
BOOKY BOOK!
Comment by Corteks (not verified) Wed, 09/08/2010 - 00:05LoL I live in Australia so I know how heat can be. We're coming up soon to summer and I have no aircon, so it'll be just like this while hanging around my own house LoL. Humid days are even worse for it :/
Anyway, when can we purchase these books?! I needs me one plus some bookmarks! ^________^
The books will be online
Comment by Ananth Wed, 09/08/2010 - 10:22The books will be online towards the end of this month! They debut at SPX and will be available online about a week after that.

Also, LOVING the book cover. I will have to start setting aside some monies for it now I think.

Comment by W. (not verified) Wed, 09/08/2010 - 17:07WANT. NOW. (Or at least, you know, sometime soon.)
Been an avid reader of the comic for over a year now, and I'm continually loving it. Can't wait to have a copy on my bookshelf ... which I hope will not meet the same fate as your last one. =X

Showers? Don't you mean
Comment by Shantal (not verified) Wed, 09/08/2010 - 18:32Showers?
Don't you mean shower?
Hurhurhur
Oh, yay!
Comment by Jenasaur (not verified) Wed, 09/08/2010 - 20:40The book looks fantastic, and I shall certainly purchase one (or two, or three as gifts). Congrats on a job well done!
I started reading your comic when I was living in Germany, and I must say that the light-hearted, offbeat stories really lifted my spirits when I was feeling particularly homesick. Many thanks to all of you at _Johnny Wander_ for providing a little bit of "home" to all parts of the globe.
Subway Fun 2.0
Comment by John Will Balsley (not verified) Wed, 09/08/2010 - 21:16Man I know how that is, the L-trains in Chicago weren't too much better, but I think they did have better air conditioning usually. New York from the visits I had were pretty intense in the summer/ fall. Cool books you have printed as well, I'll be working on that soon myself.
Cheers!
yesssss
Comment by AmandaK (not verified) Wed, 09/08/2010 - 21:39Woooo! So excited! CANNOT WAIT FOR BOOK.
(yay)
New Yorker here!
Comment by Kevin (not verified) Thu, 09/09/2010 - 01:07The unbearably hot subway platforms let you appreciate the nice, cool, air conditioned subway cars even more! ;)
Also, the LIRR totally owns the subway! :D
