A surprisingly touching experience of two brothers, who could not be more simultaneously different and similar. The art style is whimsical and yearning, much like the political writings of Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern- schplenden- schlitter- crasscrenbon- fried- digger- dingle- dangle- dongle- dungle- burstein- von- knacker- thrasher- apple- banger- horowitz- ticolensic- grander- knotty- spelltinkle- grandlich- grumblemeyer- spelterwasser- kurstlich- himbleeisen- bahnwagen- gutenabend- bitte- ein- nürnburger- bratwustle- gerspurten- mitz- weimache- luber- hundsfut- gumberaber- shönedanker- kalbsfleisch- mittler- aucher von Hautkopft of Ulm.
This work is recommended highly.

A great book with amazing artwork! Another great title served up from the amazing artist/ author/ man of all hats Pollux! Sit down with a Sequoia cheesesteak ( you'll see) and enjoy the turbulent ride with the tennis playing twins. Trust me you'll "love" it!
