Just a random quick note tonight: I was chillin' in my room on my computer listening to some tunes earlier when one of my roommates came to me with a book in his hand, saying "You've gotta check this out, you'll like it." Handing me what looked like a picture book from the elementary years, I quickly thought "alright?".Taking the book off his hands, I instantly laughed at the hideous artwork, yet liking it...feeling sorry for the person who appears to have no skill in drawing at all...then shifting through the pages, my perspective turned to think, whoever drew this book is a genius.
Examining it more, I realized that it was both written and illustrated by the same author, a Toronto writer/illustrator named Graham Roumieu. Written from Bigfoot's perspective, it is an obscenely ridiculous 96-page book about Bigfoot's return from exile in the woods, to share his insanely disturbing and comical wisdom with everyone else. It depicts him as a troubled celebrity, with a series of very short stories and notes that Bigfoot has written to share with us about everything from wantan violence, his highly opinionated and biased views, the darkside of being famous, insulting children, pooing everywhere and blood galore.
Appearing just like a children's picture book at first , you will quickly find that this hardcover, fully-coloured book openly depicts every unforgettable disgusting, disturbing, violent, comical, and insane moment of Bigfoot's life...and realize that it is genuinely brilliant. Read this!
