Saguaro is on sale for the hamburger-cheap price of 8 BUCKS! Link here:
It makes a great gift for your friends who like reading obscure fringe lit. They’ll think you’re thoughtful! They’ll love you MORE!
Who’s Bobby Bird?
He’s an aging baby boomer rock star who’s got the potential to be soulful, but most often lapses into corniness—out of laziness and because his focus is usually on drug procurement and womanizing.
However, being a baby boomer born in ’45, it’s only a matter of years before Bobby sheds his drug-addled, much-abused mortal coil. I worry about this.
A couple years ago a scientist who studied the cultural neurophenomenology of hypnosis and meditation hooked diodes to my head and had me tell stories as Bobby Bird for an hour or so. Then he showed me the zig-zag read-outs and told me that technically Bobby Bird was not me, that he was another personality, entity, soul! Demon possession? Naw. Angel possession.
All this is to say that I’ve made some cartoons and written two books about Bobby—Saguaro and Cherry on Top. I really like the second book, Cherry on Top, and luckily, so did Dave over at Secret Headquarters. We published it together last year.
Soon, to make way for some fresh, young, sexy stock, Dave is going to take Cherry on Top out of the store, leaving me as the sole owner of the not-so-many remaining copies. I’ll probably sell them in some way, somehow, on some future day—but when, I can’t say. For now, the book is still available for another week at Secret Headquarters.
If you’ve enjoyed any of my writing, cartoons, or even Saguaro, I have a strong feeling you’ll really get a kick out of Cherry on Top. Also. All of my books are short-run and eventually go out of print, and I haven’t published one that hasn’t gone up in value once it’s sold out. So if you buy the book and don’t like it, email me or message me through this app—I’ll buy it back from you.
You can’t lose. It’s guaranteed fun.
Sincerely,
Carson Mell
