About the Second Treasury
Lost Cactus - The Second Treasury is the sequel to the first anthology originally published in 2015. Lost Cactus goes beyond the eponymous three-panel and Sunday comics with a diverse mix of sci-fi short stories, witty essays, poetry and original artwork blended with a plethora of trivia, artist commentary, maps, and quizzes. This framework is vividly woven together into an eye-catching, thought-provoking and entertaining book that transports the reader beyond the typical comic strip compilations found in the humor sections of bookstores and online.
Sit back and enjoy the Second Treasury and soak up all of the uncommon knowledge this anthology has to offer. Furthermore, if you feel compelled to don a tinfoil hat after reading Lost Cactus, don't be alarmed, you won't be the first.
About the Author
John Hopkins applies his distinctly original perspective on ever-evolving technologies, current events, and pop culture-along with his keen interest in science fiction, conspiracy theories, paranormal, and urban myths-to the comic strips, short stories, and essays that are Lost Cactus.

John Hopkins is the "brains" behind the Lost Cactus comic strip. He weaves an eclectic mix of topics-from sci-fi, paranormal, and technology-fueled content with the cultural, political, and celebrity-focused world in which we live-into the comic strips, off-beat short stories, and acerbic commentaries.
A professional illustrator, designer, writer, and proprietor of a successful design studio with a diverse clientele for over 20 years, John draws upon his experience while crafting Lost Cactus. His caffeine-fueled imagination-and gift for seeing the comically absurd in almost anything-provide the grist for his strip's plotlines and extensive backstory. As a life-long comic strip fan, he is proud to contribute Lost Cactus to this quintessentially American art form.
John is a member of the Southern California Independent Booksellers Association and the Alliance of Independent Authors. He resides in sunny Southern California with his talented wife and son, and two nutty canines.
