Return to the Snake Pit: Daily Diary Comics 2022-2024, San Francisco-Richmond

In his classic no-frills style, Ben Snakepit documents the daily events of the years 2022 to 2024. Each day since 2001, he's drawn a three-panel comic about his day, creating a rhythm with subtle humor and genuine feeling that draws you into events both startling and mundane. 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.
