Product Description:
Oscar Legbo is the 7-time winner of the Tour de Saucisse-Dommages, but lately he's been under stress. Having survived the Ebola virus and witnessed the death of his coach in the same 365-day period, he must now withstand the taunts and insults of riders who don't understand his two all-encompassing motivations for living... the sharing of Agape Love and the protection of bugs everywhere.
In the tradition of the cult anti-sitcom "Get A Life" comes a tale of bizarro comedy from Kevin L. Donihe (aka Sir Edwin Walri IV). This edition includes poems by Oscar Legbo and illustrations by Carlton Mellick III.

- One insane bike ride. Great intro to the bizarro.This was one of my very first tastes of bizarro fiction. Donihe's yarn is like a movie directed by the bastard love child of John Waters and Terry Gilliam. Whimsical perversions abound. In a nutshell, an instant bizzaro classic.

- Bicycles, Spurting blood, and a Ninja.I may be partial to bizarro literature, sure. But I think this is a book that would appeal to people who aren't even hardcore cult literature/bizarro fans.

- Another Winner in the Bizarro GenreI was very apprehensive of the idea of a Bizarro book about sports. I do not enjoy Football or Baseball to any degree and the idea of reading a full book about a bicycle race did not appeal to me. But I heard from numerous sources that this book was good so I gave it a chance. I was happy I tried the book.
Donihe writing flows perfectly in this very messed up story. You will be riveted to the book and the race develops and each new insane plot point comes into affect. Surprising ... Read More

- Greatest Moment in Bizarro Sports...This was hilarious. Oscar Legbo is competing in the Tour de Saucisse-Dommages, but he is too focused on trying to save bugs that are in the road to pay attention to the race. Helmut Starb is racing against Oscar, and he thinks he has a chance to win. Oscar realizes he is losing and gets in the zone. He is making a comeback. Then, out of nowhere, a ninja appears and messes things up in a funny way. You'll have to read the book for more.
The chapters alternate between Oscar, Helmut, ... Read More
