 GOD IS DISAPPOINTED IN YOU HC

Buzz book of San Diego by believers Mark Russell & Shannon Wheeler.
Good Book humoured Bible bash

Beautifully produced, bound in faux leather with silver edged pages.

Perhaps a lovely gift for that vicarious redemption advocate in your life?

God Is Disappointed in You is for people who would like to read the Bible…if it would just cut to the chase. Stripped of its arcane language and interminable passages, every book of the Bible is condensed down to its core message, in no more than a few pages each.
Written by Russell with cartoons by New Yorker cartoonist Wheeler, God Is Disappointed in You is a frequently hilarious, often shocking, but always accurate retelling of the Bible, including the parts selectively left out by Sunday School teachers and church sermons.
Irreverent yet faithful, this book is a must-read for anyone who wants to see past the fog of religious agendas and cultural debates to discover what the Bible really says.

Walrus
Brandon Graham



A handbook to the visual and verbal universe of Brandon Graham, of King City, Prophet and Multiple Warheads fame. Graham has developed a punning, humorous and sexy universe of machines, logos, women, and bumbling men, all cast in an alternate Sci-Fi universe. Walrus, Graham's first art book, collects drawings and sketchbook comics spanning 2009-2012, and allows readers a glimpse into his creative process and obsessions. Here we glimpse everything from the puttering pace of domestic life to high energy drawing riffs to homages to cult comic book characters. Walrus will be the definitive guide to the Graham-verse.
