Mihaelis the Mouse is a man of many travels, and many names. Now, an immigrant in the self-titled ‘land of opportunity,’ he has found himself a comfortable spot aboard a little steamboat, and another new name. Willie. After a few misadventures and mistakes, that is. Come, and Marvel at the Fully Illuminated Queer Comedic Rebirth of the World's Most Famous Rodent! This sample includes the first two chapters, and the first two illustrations. Coming soon: Pete & Willie Journey to the West The heart of America is being pulled apart by strings along many lines of tension. Between the love for freedom, and the love for money. Between that which is spoken of in polite company, and the messy ways that people live their lives. Between the east and the west. In another time, and in another place, there was also a tension. Between a philosophy of contemplation, and another of action. Between the east and the west. In that moment a great work of literature came forth from humor, and helped to bring together these hostile forces into surprising harmony. This work was 'Journey to the West' by Wu Cheng'en, and it changed the world. Popular culture would never be the same.  Perhaps the first Great Chinese Novel is the reason why have the Great American Novel. Perhaps the illustrations Hokusai and his students in Japan made for it are the reason America has animation. Perhaps, if we take our pop culture and reflect it back on that work, America can learn something about itself, and the whole world with it! Just like the original, it's an adventure, a mystery, a comedy, a travelogue, and a serious philosophical enterprise. It's a bit more sexy, yes, but a lot has changed since then. That being said, we are only now catching up to the naughty sophistication of 16th century Chinese dick jokes. They had that nicked right out the gate.  Sign up now to be involved in the ARC and early review process! This one really is a fabulous journey.
