Book description
Seven pants-peeingly funny stories featuring seven evil characters
you can't help but love: Douglas Coupland's stories are
illustrated with dark charm by Graham Roumieu in a collaboration that
brings together two of Canada's wittiest creators for the first time.
Put your therapist on speed dial and read them with pleasure.
A cast of unlovable miscreants who unleash their dark, unruly and
antisocial desires on every page: They are Donald, the
Incredibly Hostile Juice Box; Kevin, the Hobo Minivan with Extremely
Low Morals; Brandon, the Action Figure with Issues; Sandra, the Truly
Dreadful Babysitter; Hans, the Weird Exchange Student;Cindy, the
Terrible Role Model; and Mr. Fraser, the Undead Substitute Teacher.
A lot of laughs-of the evil, twisted kind: Definitely
inappropriate for young people.
