This Is Your First Rock Garden, Isn't It? : An Other Coast Collection (Other Coast Collections)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
It's different "over there." Everybody east of Washington, Oregon, and California knows it. But defining the West Coast as "not like the East Coast" leaves way too much of the story untold. No, far better to turn to Adrian Raeside's This Is Your First Rock Garden, Isn't It?, perhaps one of the most informative-and certainly funniest-explanations to ever depict the westernmost portion of our country.
Raeside represents the perfect comic commentator on what makes "Other Coasters" tick. He was born a Kiwi, lived in England, and now resides in British Columbia-close enough for a good view without having to get mixed up in the muddle that passes for the West Coast lifestyle and its many subcultures. Instead, the cartoonist accurately sheds light and humor on residents who put their own unique spin on everything from cars and coffee to extreme sports and the latest out-there technology.
This Is Your First Rock Garden, Isn't it?, Raeside's second Other Coast collection, captures all the quirks and comical traits that give these occasionally odd occupants their confidence, panache, and ability to ignore the rest of the country. Eccentric, fashionable, political, hysterical-This Is Your First Rock Garden, Isn't It? has it all.
Adrian Raeside went from drawing on school washroom walls as a kid to becoming one of the most widely syndicated cartoonists in Canada. Besides editorial cartoons and his Other Coast strip, Adrian has been involved in dozens of animated cartoon shows, the latest of which is the Atomic Betty series. Adrian has produced 12 books, including There Goes the Neighbourhood, The Demented Decade, and the Dennis the Dragon children's series. He lives in Whistler, B.C.
