In honor of his birthday yesterday R. Stevens released a DRM-free ebook of his very first Diesel Sweeties collection.

It’s my birthday today, so I’m releasing a free ebook version of my first book: Diesel Sweeties: Pocket Sweeties Volume 1. You can buy a hard copy of this or my other books right here in my store.

I originally published this book in 2003 and it features the first hundred+ comics with introductions to the main cast and a wonderful foreword from John Allison. Every strip in the book has been recolored and relettered and you can read along and compare them to the originals on my site if you start reading here.

As he notes, the hard copy is still available. A strong example of the webcartoonist’s confidence in the free sampling model. Indeed, after downloading the book, you’ll probably be hooked.
