Apparently adult colouring books are the only growth market in publishing and are responsible for keeping a whole bunch of book stores solvent. That's loving depressing. But on the other hand it's not like the people doing all that colouring in would have been finding the cure for cancer or writing symphonies otherwise. They would have just been wasting their time on some other pointless endeavour so nothing of value has been lost.

The subject came up in the LootCrate thread and it turned out there's several adult colouring book subscription services. Because of course there is.

Pannus posted:If they had been "adult" in the same way as adult movies it would have been kinda cool, but afaik it's just pics of flowers and poo poo Every colouring book can be an 'adult' colouring book with just a little imagination!   But colouring books with adult themes also exist:
