The latest episode brings us to the town of Manor (pronounced &#8220;MAY\u00adner&#8221;), a suburb of Austin, Texas. Ben buys a house with his wife and adjusts to slow\u00adpaced suburban living. He turns 40, changes jobs, experiences big life transitions, and practices with his new band. Every day along the way, he draws a simple three\u00ad-panel comic describing each day&#8217;s events, however dramatic or monotonous, each titled with a punk song. Against that steady march of time, patterns emerge and shift and the result is a meditative, addictive read that captures the humanity of everyday life in a way that is never pretentious or boring, and always relatable.<\/p>\n<p>Ben Snakepit\u00a0has earned a cult following by drawing a three panel comic every day for the last fifteen years, chronicling his life in punk. &#8216;Manor Threat&#8217;\u00a0is the seventh and latest book in the series.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/microcosmpublishing.com\/uploads\/manorthreatback.jpg?resize=608%2C764&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\" Manor Threat: Snake Pit Comics 2013-2015 by Ben Snakepit back cover\" width=\"608\" height=\"764\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"imgCaptionAnchor\" href=\"http:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001YZ75D7Lk_uKiDMUOud_ZuDUg2A34DGvvUM5bJbEckiXa-lpyl3HlXJoFOXG4W-s2DlN9fCPxtswwvQs9rxsTur3fWsxTNg2buz1v9VPlDGMFAHCi_MaA8UIhfssj2jjh4vxGAnRWkE_3AqTql5LYQmKf9Mf6b3wSxJcZhFqpmFkLGYBlJeq2K1Id4GrOIBs-ulwe7iKkY_Im9xpA0P4CUA==&amp;c=Xf5AJLSR2hzs7tA9M66sfqI-gRy8IkVSDpPw745EHEYiUUmzBCApUg==&amp;ch=eeJQn7K0c6H2G-zyReQLi7U73IWOcM0r2ILyV_Wcy2xYtMoZ6wbdhw==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\" shape=\"rect\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/microcosmpublishing.com\/uploads\/manorthreatinside.jpg?resize=617%2C415&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\" Manor Threat: Snake Pit Comics 2013-2015 by Ben Snakepit inside cover \" width=\"617\" height=\"415\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can also grab the entire Snake Pit series via\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/catalog\/books\/6307\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\" shape=\"rect\">Microcosm Publishing<\/a>, which is made in the Portland, OR.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More about Ben Snakepit?<\/strong> Ben Snakepit has been drawing a daily diary comic for fifteen years.
