I Had A Leaf Stuck To My Shoe

The Poet is a daily comic strip about celebrating the little things and has been described as being like PEANUTS, but if Linus was an old man and Woodstock had an attitude. I Had A Leaf Stuck To My Shoe is the seventh collection of The Poet comic strips, and follows its uniquely thoughtful cast of characters: the Poet, the Pigeon, and the Park Bench as they contemplate our silly place in the grand scheme of things, the meaning of poetry, and donuts. Among the many delights in this collection, The Poet muses on repetition and routine as he releases a small book into the world, the Pigeon mistakenly thinks they are fugitives on the lam, and the Park Bench is a puzzle unto itself. "The Poet has a sense of humor about thinking hard and feeling deeply while not apologizing for such outrageous behavior. It's refreshing."- Hal Hartley, film director"Serene, existential, and self aware, Todd Webb's The Poet is a humorous and ultimately helpful respite from... everything." - Adam J. Kurtz, author of Things Are What You Make of Them: Life Advice for Creatives"These gently funny comics strike a happy balance between dreaminess and the corporeal world... an inarguably good thing." - Heather Christle, poet and author of What is Amazing and The Crying Book"Todd Webb has figured out what poetry was missing all these years - PICTURES!" - Derek Drymon, executive producer of Adventure Time "I have been a joy-filled fan of Todd's work on The Poet for as long as I can remember. - Kevin Pollak, actor & comedian "Poets like poems, and birds like donuts. This Poet and bird share the crumbs of their life with love, and the occasional jab in the ribs." - John Porcellino, cartoonist King-Cat Comics & Stories
