(St. John's, NL, Canada (April 2, 2008) - It's a world first. A cartoon collection ebook
being marketed on the internet is aiming to make condoms a laughing matter. The Condom, by
the award-winning Canadian designer and cartoonist Marin Darmonkow, is a collection of
full color cartoons featuring the humble condom as a central character. The humor is a mix of
double entendres, puns and visual gags. And while making people smile is the goal, Darmonkow
says keeping it inexpensive and within the bounds of good taste were also very important.
The downloadable ebook is only USD3.99 and can be purchased online.
"People hear 'condom' and automatically start thinking x-rated," Darmonkow says, "but in these
days of safe sex, I wanted to help make the condom easy to talk about. And what better way than
through humor?" Everyone knows it well - it's healthy to laugh: you get rid of built-up energy and
stress. Darmonkow points out the cartoons are "good, clean fun." "We've come a long way since
sneaking into the drugstore or gas station rest room to buy condoms. These days - they are a
pretty mainstream item. I hope my e-book will continue this trend."
In order to reach as many people as possible, The Condom is being marketed online as an e
book. Traditional publishing and distribution methods are time consuming and expensive.
Darmonkow decided to take advantage of the many opportunities on the internet to self publish.
"If I did this the traditional way, the book would be in the $15 range. Using the internet - people
can download and enjoy The Condom for less than it costs to buy a 3-pack of them!"
The ebook can be downloaded at www.taboook.com and Amazon's ebooks arm
