The First Black Dogs Almanac (2005)

112 pages of glorious endeavour to brought to you in a mixture of colour and black-and-white pages with an appropriately matt finish.

Read rousing manifestos, see hard evidence of labour-intensive artworks, embark upon one of dozens of suggested career paths, and win a jesters outfit to wear proudly at social occasions.

Complete with your very own A5 slice of the Financial Times to cut into increasingly tiny pieces until your eyes fail and you collapse, clutching your hand in agony, knowing that the minute pink squares before you stand as a record of how you have spent your time on this earth.

The first 100 Almanacs sold included a CDrom packed with assorted visual and auditory oddities. The launch of The First Black Dogs Almanac took place at OK Comics, 19 Thorntons Arcade, Leeds.
