I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, where I spent much of my youth drawing violent cartoons, making up gross stories, and enjoying the judgment that resulted. Having sacrificed so much time in school to these obsessions, it seemed only right to bring some of them together into one story. So I hope you enjoy the first book in my trilogy: a young boy's cartoonish adventure across the faces of a ruined Earth to save the life of his dear, sweet mom, who is just as ruined. In this grotesque science fiction satire, I infuse the silliness and fun of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett with the warmth and tenderness of Robert Crumb and Chuck Palahniuk. Hold on to your cell bars!
