Our Kickstarter for Pidge’s Infinite Wheatpaste Vol. 1 – Catalytic Conversions has just gone live and we’re really excited to share this incredible universe-spanning sci-fi epic with you!
This amazing 280-page book collects Pidge’s Ignatz-nominated self-published comics series into a stunning paperback collection with a beautiful wrap-around cover with french flaps.
Pidge has designed some fantastic bonus items to accompany the book too, so read on…
Relationships . . . androids . . . car repair . . . time travel . . . gods – these interconnected stories set on the edges of human experience share the moments of the little bits of life that feel less than real.
Abby and Lilah are a couple drifting apart. Jeff is a flaming star. Soe is a perpetually late college student and the goddess next door. Casimir is a man with a past, and Abe is his future, maybe everyone’s future. Otis is a grief-stricken robot on a road to enlightenment. Groob is fun-loving and the salt of the earth. Some are slowly making their way to each other, but some are breaking apart.
L. Pidge is a Colorado cartoonist and educator. She has been writing and drawing her epic series Infinite Wheatpaste since 2016 and has no intention of stopping anytime soon….

Praise for Pidge’s work:
“Infinite Wheatpaste isn’t simply a world-building triumph… it’s a universe-building one. Immersive character-driven storytelling on an epic and yet still very personal scale.”
– Broken Frontier
“A vibrant story of love & lizard tag among friends, semi-demi gods and robots. Pidge is one of the most blithely fascinating cartoonists this side of the 21st century. Part Paul Pope smarts and cyberscience, all heart and soul.”
– Shelly Bond
About Pidge:
Pidge is an artist and educator who is the creator, illustrator, and letterer of her Ignatz Award nominated comic, Infinite Wheatpaste. She currently resides in a quiet mountain town in the heart of the Colorado Rockies with her spouse and colourist, Professor Chase Hutchison.

She is currently working on more IWP and Skylarks, an all-ages mystery. When she isn’t drawing or teaching middle schoolers, she can be found knitting and snowboarding.
We’ve devised a special bundle of Avery Hill books called The Cerebral Sci-fi Bundle that we think complement Pidge’s book beautifully, and it’s available as an add-on when you check out!
It includes:
The Hard Switch by Owen D. Pomery (brand new paperback edition!)
Outer Wilderness by Claire Scully
A City Inside by Tillie Walden
Goatherded by Charlo Frade
There are also some seriously amazing bonus items that you can get when you back the various reward tiers! There’s a postcard set, a signed foldable poster, a screen-printed tote bag, and stickers. The poster and tote bag have limited numbers available, so don’t delay if you want them!
