A Parallel Universe

About the Book

If anything occupies our cerebral, physical and emotional energies today, it must be the daily grind in life, our work, our love-life and, of course - animals. The Book "A Parallel Universe" approaches all these issues. Since it is a book full of wacky, offbeat cartoons it will cause even more confusion than the average, normal, middle of the road, ordinary person might be able to tolerate. Especially in the title-section of the book, which naturally is called "A Parallel Universe" also, the author/illustrator enters a world that no one should visit without a proper sanity check. If there ever had been a case of mental illness in the last several generation of the reader's family perhaps it would be advisable to skip this segment because here one is treated to a perplexing, baffling and paradoxical look at life, the laws of nature, and peculiar advise on retirement. Another section, titled "It's Not My Job", while equally bewildering, takes a look at how, for example, a mechanic, clearly gifted in a different profession deals with the mystifying entrails of motor vehicles. Or it shows the trials and tribulations of loyal employees of a wig factory who apparently have different ideas of downsizing. But why nocturnal critters like rats need reading lamps is never explained.
