I&#8217;m thrilled. I&#8217;ve been banging on the door of the publishing industry for almost a decade, and to finally break in with a picture book dedicated to my son is a dream come true. He calls it &#8220;my porcupine book,&#8221; which is the best review I could ask for. Although I might have accidentally given him an unrealistic notion of how the business works; whenever I&#8217;m working on a new idea for a picture book, he&#8217;ll say, &#8220;Can we go get this one in the store tomorrow?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kids and their unrealistic expectations! What was the publishing journey for this book, did you approach an agent, or did they approach you, was it your idea or theirs?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It started with the title. That came to me first: HOW TO POTTY TRAIN YOUR PORCUPINE. It immediately\u00a0communicated the fun and conflict of the concept. I could see it right away: a porcupine&#8217;s quills poking holes in its diaper. That&#8217;s pretty funny! I&#8217;m a gag cartoonist, and so I&#8217;m always looking for single images that humorously mash two unlikely things together. Porcupine; diaper; leaks&#8211;problem! Now there&#8217;s a story to tell. I sketched up a full dummy of the book and showed it to my agent at the time. She liked it, and gave me some notes, but I didn&#8217;t quite know how to incorporate her notes, and so I put the project aside for a few years. Time passes in strange ways when you&#8217;re a parent.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0316495395\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4025 size-full\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/SM0240-Author-Twitter-Headers-May-and-June-2020-pubs-FINAL-2A47.jpg\" alt=\"How to Potty Train your Porcupine\" width=\"1500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/SM0240-Author-Twitter-Headers-May-and-June-2020-pubs-FINAL-2A47.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/SM0240-Author-Twitter-Headers-May-and-June-2020-pubs-FINAL-2A47-300x100.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/SM0240-Author-Twitter-Headers-May-and-June-2020-pubs-FINAL-2A47-1024x341.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/SM0240-Author-Twitter-Headers-May-and-June-2020-pubs-FINAL-2A47-768x256.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A while later, I found myself with a new agent, Julia Eagleton, with whom I was working on totally separate project, and I happened to remember PORCUPINE was just sitting in a folder on my laptop. I sent it to her. She thought it was great as-is, and she submitted it to publishers right away. The next thing I knew, it was selling at auction. PORCUPINE went from hibernating in a hard drive to finding a home at Little, Brown in the span of a week. It was a joyful whirlwind. And things kept moving fast. The wonderful editor at LB, Megan Tingley, had a spot suddenly open up in her spring 2020 slate of new releases, but to make the deadline I had to finish all 40 pages of artwork in a month. Luckily my training in the weekly grind of New Yorker cartoon submission had prepared me for just such a moment. I put my quill to the grindstone, so to speak, and I cranked out PORCUPINE in the nick of time. Now here we are!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here we are, indeed.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t lie, it is bittersweet to debut my first children&#8217;s book during a global pandemic. The tour is off, and the public readings will have to wait. (Somehow it&#8217;s less charming to read to group of children while wearing a face mask.) But my hope is that PORCUPINE will come as a reprieve to parents and kids who&#8217;ve exhausted their home libraries while stuck indoors. As the old saying says, &#8220;When the going gets prickly, the prickly get going (to the potty).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0316495395\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4026\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/PORCUPINE-cover-1.jpg\" alt=\"How to Potty Train your Porcupine\" width=\"200\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/PORCUPINE-cover-1.jpg 997w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/PORCUPINE-cover-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/PORCUPINE-cover-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/PORCUPINE-cover-1-768x770.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/PORCUPINE-cover-1-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>How To Potty Train your Porcupine<\/strong> is now available for preorder:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0316495395\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amazon<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9780316495394\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Indiebound<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>This post is part of a series promoting books by some of our favorite cartoonists.
