Bifidus Jones: The Long Haul, a book like no other

The Land O Lakes kid pulls a fab piece out of his log cabin and sends it to Paris.  This book is simply amazing, and had me smiling from sweet corn ear to sweet corn ear.  Thank you very much Mr. Jones.

     But the girls that do, have a ball.

A good story always has a little hidden mystery included.

I can't stop laughing over this page.                              (Last name: Ripper)

No matter where we are in the World, we all seem to have the same Aunties.

Inspired from Me & Mrs. Jones?

The cover has me tickled pink.  It was made from a Land O Lakes butter wrapper.  The stuff I grew up on.  Fantastic book, and I feel very very lucky to have it.

Excuse the levity, Bifidus. I like to play with those endless script-pitch lines from Robert Altman's "The Player." "It's Mrs. Robinson meets The Terminator in Seattle! It has Oscar written all over it!"

This book has some of your great cursive material that I fondly remember - pre-asemics. Nice work. Thanks for what you sent me recently. I think it will have to be Solar Festival material - a bit down the line.
