Children of Tax and Tea is a forthcoming full-color, illustrated, hardback humorous history book about the vikings written in the charmingly profane tone of a foul-mouthed Bostonian. Basically, imagine an inebriated Mark Wahlberg movie character unloading all sorts of knowledge about the Viking Age on a captive audience.

Never underestimate the killing power of an enraged, mostly naked guy.
The book stems from “Norse History for Bostonians,” a column written by Rowdy Geirsson for the McSweeney’s humor website since 2010 and illustrated by Matt Smith since 2017. The Kickstarter exclusive edition of Children of Tax and Tea will include all-new chapters and illustrations that will never appear anywhere else, be printed on premium paper, and be signed by both author and artist.
The project is now listed in the “upcoming projects” section of Kickstarter. Please give it a follow over there so that you’ll be notified when it goes live. We’re planning some fun rewards and add-ons, and there will be discounted prices within the project’s first 48 hours. Launch is anticipated for August of 2025.
