The boredom of not knowing where his life is going. Quentin James, decides to go travelling. Later seven new friends are chucked off a Kibbutz in Israel and journey to Egypt, through naivety and poor common sense they become separated.
Quentin's daydreams come to life adding additional irrelevant stories involving cartoon characters Wilbur Wildebeest & his motley crew of adversaries including the evil pig brothers and a group of unlucky daddy-long-legs. The friends meet an Australian couple and a talking cat before they head back to England. But when Quentin returns he is still without a clue what to do next...

The Asylum Years
There are 51 short stories, some are very short indeed and others are simply illustrated or in a comic strip format. They include sarcastic, irrelevant, ridiculous, true and heart warming tales. Examples: Art Gallery & Art Gallery II In comic strip format Simeon is taught about paintings by his professor, yet the worse the picture is, the better (apparently) and the paintings that seem excellent (to Simeon) are slated by the art critic expert. In Art Gallery II Simeon uses his new knowledge to secure a date with a lady he likes and she falls in love with him... Example: William the Conkerer Born a horse chestnut, soaked in vinegar and forged in an oven as a baby. Example: Mistaken Identity A non illustrated true story of how I was arrested and went to court in New Orleans during the Mardi Gras festival. Note: not every story is illustrated but if they are, they will be in black and white Sample illustrations below: |
