Ok, ok, ok!  Some of you may have noticed (and hopefully clicked and then ordered) the link on the left for my new book, “Derek Hunter is a F**k“. And anyone who saw that link probably though any one of the following: 1. What in the hell is that a link for?  2. That is DEFINITELY not Pirate Club related! 3. Why would Derek call himself that on his own website? and 4. I need to know more.

Wow, I cannot believe I am writing about this.  This book has been a long time in the making.  I have been threatening to make a book about some of the less-than-Christian things I have done in my past for a long time.  Every time I go to a party and get asked to “Tell the story about the time you broke up with a girl by____”, I think about making this book.  But then a big part of me is like, “You idiot, don’t dwell on the stories that make you seem like a worse person than you are!”

And yes, the stories I wrote and drew about are awful, embarrassing, damning, and least of all, shocking.  But, I dunno, this work is definitely some of the best comic work I’ve done in a long time.  And, I know I should be embarrassed by the person I was, but dammit if I didn’t piss people off in a horribly comedic way (if I do say so myself).   For a long time, I’ve wanted to make an autobiographical comic, but never really felt like I was funny enough, or interesting enough, or did enough craaaaazy things to necessitate a comic about me.  But then I thought, “Well, why does my comic have to be like all the others out there?  I should do the opposite!  I should make the reader NOT want my life”.  So I set out to make a book that made me look awful instead of awesome.  And the results are hilarious.

I had a blast making this book!  Talking to old friends, reminiscing about awful times I should have forgotten, and second-guessing my sanity the whole way.  I mean, really…who in their right mind wants to draw a book that makes the reader feel disgusted by the author?  Me, I guess…and it was fun as hell!

So, what are you waiting for?  Go!  Click the link, see me be an asshole.  And buy a copy for hells sake!  It really is one of my best books yet.  I can promise you that.
