Originally published as a mini-comic to promote Wheeler's initial strip collection [b:Children With Glue|5769598|Children With Glue|Shannon Wheeler|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1226972681s/5769598.jpg|5941339], Too Much Coffee Man proved to be an instant success, spawning a pop culture phenomenon with a newspaper syndicated strip, a regularly produced comic book, magazine, five collections, an animated Converse commercial, merchandising paraphernalia galore (mugs, coffee, t-shirts, and toilet paper!) and even an opera. The Too Much Coffee Man Omnibus collects the five previously published Dark Horse volumes (Parade of Tirade, Guide for the Perplexed, Amusing Musings, How to Be Happy, and Screw Heaven, When I Die I'm Going To Mars) and unpublished Too Much Coffee Man stories in a handsome oversized production. Far more than just tales of an iconic slacker, the Too Much Coffee Man strips, as with all of Wheeler's works, supplies humorous and insightful observations on relationships, politics, and society.
