Press Release - For Immediate Release Contact: J.T. Yost, tel: 347-256-5461 "Somehow, even in the overwhelming face of the modern world's overpowering doldrums, Snakepit continues to be one of the most entertaining diary strips around." NINE YEARS IN THE PIT Ben Snakepit has been drawing his daily autobiographical comics for over nine years. A messy and emotionally painful divorce was the impetus for chronicling his life in comic form, but his dedication and tenacity have seen it through for nearly a decade. Drawn in a deciptively simple style, Ben's unflinching honesty and humor keep the strip thoroughly engrossing. Although he does more than his fair share of partying, touring in punk bands and ingesting copious amounts of illicit substances, it's all balanced out by the boredom of long shifts at a video store, watching tv and the day to day minutiae that we all must suffer through. "I don't really understand why people like it so much, to tell you the truth," confesses Ben, "I guess maybe because people see that everyone's lives are pretty much the same." Snakepit 2009 sees Ben settle further into domesticity and responsibiltiy while somehow retaining his contrary attitude and aversion to growing up. it is available for $6.00 in comic book stores nationwide or through Birdcage Bottom Books at www.BirdcageBottomBooks.com
