Graham Roumieu is a genius. His artwork is hilarious, articulate and weirdly touching; sometimes disturbingly macabre. With a slightly crude style that perfectly evokes how Bigfoot must see the world, Roumiue has created three books that literally have to be seen to be believed.
But what really makes this series so special is Roumieu's vision of the private life of everyone's favorite cryptozoological woods-dweller. He envisions Bigfoot as a contemplative soul, desperate (as are we all) to get to the bottom of who he is and what his life really means. And if he needs to decimate a few furry creatures along the way, get wasted, throw up and generally wreak havoc.....so be it.
Bigfoot's quest for personal knowledge begins with IN ME OWN WORDS: THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF BIGFOOT. It's followed by ME WRITE BOOK: BIGFOOT MEMOIR
and ends with the hilariously titled BIGFOOT: I NOT DEAD. Who knew that Bigfoot and Abe Vigoda had a common problem?
There aren't that many books that are so funny I actually laugh until I cry. There are even fewer that get that result every time I read them. And I've read these books a lot.
If you've ever watched In Search Of and wished Leonard Nimoy would pipe down and just get Bigfoot on tape and let him do his own talking, these are the books for you. Read them over and over again, give them as gifts, and tell everyone you know about them. You won't be sorry you did.
Here's a taste of some of the hilarity that awaits you:
