LET’S GET RIGHT TO IT.
The 2017 Wondermark Calendar
You can pre-order the calendar RIGHT NOW!
Since it’s the big Year Ten edition, I decided to do it on Kickstarter this year! Just to see if it could attract some additional attention. Also it meant I got to make a fun video!
As usual, you can get the whole package including calendar cards and wooden stand, or just the cards themselves if all you need is a refill.
But there’s a third option too! I designed a very elaborate and cool Year X Deluxe Collector’s Edition Stand.
That’s an optional upgrade if you like! I will be producing and hand-assembling them here at the ol’ workshop.
The theme of the calendar this year is the Absurd Sports League:
The Absurd Sports League was founded by mistake some decades ago, when the members of a minor league softball team arrived for their opening day away game at an altogether wrong address, and mistook the vendors of a debris-strewn flea market for the opposing team…
…I have tried with this calendar to present an accurate overview of the history and scope of Fleaball as it has been played since its inception. But as no two games are ever the same, no three players can wear the same uniform, and no four consecutive games may be played on odd-numbered dates unless all seven endfielders agree to rotate shoes every half-quintile, I can take no responsibility for any inaccuracies the calendar may contain.
More on the League, and on the enigma that is Fleaball, in the coming days.
Like last year, the calendar will come with a brand-new Wondermark Cast Card, and, if it’s your fifth calendar or more, you can also get a new Calendar Ace card!
However, to save time and avoid waste for people who don’t care about them, I won’t be including Cast Cards with EVERY SINGLE package by default — in order to request one, all you have to do is add one penny to your pledge. It’s explained in exhaustive detail over on the Kickstarter page.
### A SIDEBAR TO NOTE: Patreon folks already got an early crack at special pricing for the calendar! And there’s still time to get on the Cast Card Patreon subscription train for November, which features the lovely Jeredith in her Halloween costume:
Thank you to all Patreonauts who’ve already given us a jump-start in calendar orders!
### BACK TO SCENE
The calendar’s Kickstarter campaign is very short — only 10 days in all — because it has to end early enough for me to get everyone’s shipping information. This is the big downside to using an external service like Kickstarter. So if you’re interested, please, don’t delay!

Downloadable holiday cards
I sell paper holiday cards, of course (more on that in a sec), but this year I’m also making my collection of holiday-themed Multi-Purpose Cards available as a PDF download!
This way, you can print out the cards at home with no shipping from me required. The download comes with both US letter paper and A4 sized versions.
(My universal set of general-occasion Multi-Purpose Cards are also available for download.)
Two new holiday cards
I’ve designed two new paper cards for this holiday season!
The first one is a snowman staying cool under pressure. The second one is a classic Wondermark Christmas comic.
These, and/or any of my dozens of other card designs, can be ordered right now at the Wondermark store!
This is the other reason I decided to break off the calendar into its own thing: so greeting card and other orders can ship quickly, without having to wait for the calendar to be completed.
(These two new cards are still at the printer, and will start shipping in a couple days — but all other designs are in stock and can ship immediately).
SPEAKING OF THE STORE…
Magnets & wrapping paper
I’ve got some new stuff for sale this season!
First: this is not technically wrapping paper, but I wound up with some posters printed on lightweight enough stock that they might work well for the purpose (or other purposes that big sheets of paper are good for, such as…placemats? Book jackets? Lampshades?).
Since they’re posters, they come as individual 16×20″ sheets, but I give you a bunch of them to use (and one sheet is enough to wrap a smallish package).
This is more of a clearance thing than an actual let’s-make-wrapping-paper thing (I looked into getting actual rolls made once, and man, it’s expensive), but I thought you might find them useful!
Also, magnets!!
The full color “Atoms” magnet is a test product with limited quantities in stock. But the engraved wooden ones, we produce in-house here at the studio! I’ve been taking these to conventions all year and they’re really cool. You can get them individually, or mix & match to make a set.
For these items, and/or holiday cards, and/or stickers and other cool stuff, place an order today from the Wondermark store!
I ship the orders myself, and promise to, when I put your goods in a package, include a shake from that empty “Love” canister your aunt keeps on her spice rack.
And there’s still a lot of great stuff over in my TopatoCo store, too!
I look forward to being the source of weird gifts your friends and/or loved ones will think you are very cool for having found.
