'Doctrine Man!!' Kills More Trees, Deflates More Dogma

The creator of the Facebook-based Doctrine Man!! comic has released a second softcover collection of military-themed cartoons, just in time for holiday gift-giving!

Weighing in at 150 pages, Volume 2 of "The Further Adventures of Doctrine Man!!" features nearly 300 full-color comic strips, "Top Ten" lists, and other military madness. The 8.5 x 11-inch format allows the tome to stealthily co-exist with more officious and official doctrinal library materials.

The first "Further Adventures" volume was reviewed on the Red Bull Rising blog last September. The comic was also recognized as part of our 2013 Military Humor Awards.

To help celebrate the second volume, the Red Bull Rising blog released a photo album of "Doctrine Memes!!" that can be shared with friends, enemies, and local centers of influence. Available themes and messages include:

• "Sherpa Says: 'Humor is a Combat Multiplier ...'" (A reference to Sherpatude No. 26.)

• "Have You Read the Latest FRAGO?"

• "You Were Expecting Indiana Jones and the Temple of DM!! ?"

• "They're Real ... and They're Spectacular!"

There's even a "This Space Intentionally Left Blank" version, so that readers can create their own messages! "Collect them all! Trade with your friends!"
