Relive the trauma of the last five years through the cartoons of Herblock Award winner and Pulitzer nominee Tom Tomorrow in Our Long National Nightmare. This 288-page, full-color softcover book collects the comic This Modern World from April 1, 2020, to October 13, 2025, published December 2025. It measures 8½ inches square (22 cm) and weighs nearly 3 lbs (1.4 kg). Orders placed now ship in early January 2026.
This Modern World started in 1988 as a weekly cartoon of political and social satire published mostly in alternative weekly newspapers and has now outlived many of those papers. It has also appeared regularly online since the mid-’90s. The world, the media landscape, and the publishing industry have all changed quite a bit since Tom started out, and he’s had to constantly adapt. But he continues to spin the straw of terrible political news into the gold of hopefully amusing cartoons—and then, every few years, to collect those cartoons into a new book compilation.
Our Long National Nightmare was funded through a Kickstarter campaign, and only a small number of print copies remain, after which it will be available only as an ebook edition. Get your copy now!
Ships to the United States and Canada. (The weight makes it cost prohibitive outside of those countries.)
