A man and a young girl travel the roads of a post-apocalyptic
wasteland, hunted by monsters and haunted by the past. Nothing is
what it seems in this ravaged landscape where danger is
all-encompassing and enemies come in every form. In this world
surviving is hell. Staying dead is impossible.
Remember the weird kid in grade school who picked at every part of
his body except his nose? You know, the one witht he homemade
clothes junior high? The weirdo who was into Star Trek? The guy who
sat alone at lunch? The one who never went on a date? The first
person you thought of when you saw that drawing of the Unabomber?
Well, that kid grew up. He grew up, he convinced someone to marry
him, purchased a home, wrote a few books, and even became a
step-grandfather (if that's a thing). Goats Eat Cans is his story.
In Volume 3, Steven Novak continues to recount the mostly woeful
tales of his life in the uniquely peculiar way only he can. There
are even more inappropriate bodily functions, a load of awkward
mishaps, and a whole lot of obscure pop culture references that
only the nerdiest of the nerds will recognize. Goats Eat Cans
features 50 stories, 50 illustrations, a cartoon rendering of him
pulling a woman from a car wreck. So that's pretty cool.
With their backs to the wall the children of the Fillagrou prophecy
are forced to fight against seemingly impossible odds. Questions
will be answered and mysteries revealed. Lives will be lost,
friendships will be tested and the bonds of family stretched to the
limit. If the universe is to survive, the ultimate sacrifice must
be made. Endings and Beginnings is the final installment in an epic
trilogy that follows an unlikely group of children turned heroes
and their adventures in a world that seems, on the surface, to have
very little in common with their own. Pitted against a tyrant king
hungry for vengeance, the fate of the universe rests in their
hands.
Remember the weird kid in grade school with a mouthful of paste and
britches full of waste? You know, the one that still had an
imaginary friend in junior high? That creepy oddball with the belly
that made it impossible for him to run a mile in under thirty
minutes? The one you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt would one day
get caught with a severed head in his freezer? Well, that kid grew
up. He grew up, he convinced someone to marry him, he bought a
house in the suburbs, he wrote a book, and he even stopped eating
paste Goats Eat Cans is his story. In Volume 2, Steven Novak
continues to recount the mostly woeful tales of his life in the
peculiar way only he can. There are more inappropriate bodily
functions, more awkward social mishaps, and a heck of a lot more
obscure pop culture references that only the nerdiest of the nerds
will recognize. Goats Eat Cans features 56 stories, 56
illustrations, and a carton rendering of his buttocks in a thong.
If that's not worth the price of admission, nothing is.
