There are Abby and Norma T-shirts, mugs and other stuff! If you want Abby and Norma’s weird humor all over your body, the A&N Cafepress shop is the place to go.
There is an Abby and Norma book! It’s a compendium of 500 selected favorites from among the first 1000 strips, and it’s for sale on Lulu.
It’s available for $4.89 as a PDF download, or $15.00 as a paperback book. It is is entitled Everything Happens for a Reason (but nothing happens for a GOOD reason), which is a reference to this strip.
It’s bigger, better and more beautiful than the old, discontinued Abby and Norma book, and it has 500 of my selected favorite comics between #0 and #1067. They’re still black-and-white (they’d cost way too much to print otherwise) but each strip takes up one page, unlike the older book where longer strips were split onto multiple pages. (For the longest strips, this means the text is very small, but still legible.)
The mouseover text and blog posts are included (sometimes shortened, but also sometimes improved). For early comics that didn’t have the mouseover text or blog posts to begin with, they have been added specially for the book! The earliest comics, which were originally drawn in a very unprofessional style, have also been redrawn for the book in all of Abby and Norma’s shaded glory.
There are plenty of extras like behind-the-scenes photos and screenshots, copying-and-pasting bloopers, a foreword by the author, the extra 2 story arcs fom the first book, and even some real drawings I did with real pencils, including a full-color cover, and six pages featuring detailed pencil art of Abby, Norma, Hans, Ron and the costumes they wore for Halloween in 2009. (You can cut them out and use them as paper dolls if you want!)
