Leaking Cello Case (Episode 1) (The Red Monkey: The Leaking Cello Case) - Hardcover

It's not quite Tintin, and it's not quite Bitter-comix - so what is this Red Monkey business? Beware, Joe Daly's wacky characters are waiting to invade your world. There's Dave...Let me just review for a moment. I've been dumped by a girl who thinks I'm just plain weird, I failed to silence the tormenting ceiling noises in an emasculating display of insecurity and cowardice, and I'm sitting in an apartment drawing a brick. There's got to be more to life than this. And...This is my best friend, Paul. He makes digeridoos, tie-dyed T-shirts and psychedelic wire sculptures which he occasionally sells at craft markets and out-door trance parties. Needless to say, he borrows a lot of my money and eats a lot of my cereal. And many more. A full-colour comic story book, presently being serialised by SL magazine, Red Monkey will delight all ages. The Leaking Cello Case is an offbeat detective-adventure story-a comic trip into a weird wonderful Cape Town underworld populated by hippy slackers. Psychotic international criminals, a monkey man and other exotic wild creatures. While trying to handle usual daily stress levels and concentrate on his work, Dave gets disturbed by mysterious noises coming through the ceiling from the apartment above. Unbridled curiosity leads him into more trouble than he can handle alone but luckily Dave has some unusual friends to help him out. Follow him through the lush and stylish world of art Deco buildings and bristling cacti as he uncovers the mystery of the leaking cello case.
