The ladies continue to reload and shoot back in this, the fourth volume of an adventurous cartoon book about the ladies of Pattaya, Thailand. You are the target and you have been hit. Feel that? If this is your first visit to Thailand you may think of this book as a frivolous book of cartoons. But an expat to Thailand will look upon this adventurous cartoon book for what it is: the heart wrenching family album that has recorded his emotional joy ride through the fog of middle age. This is the book that lays out in elusive detail, those great adventures of the recent past and adventurers yet to be experienced in the land of huge smiles... For the hapless adventurer this is a cartoon text book of things to come; adventures to be experienced and fortunes to be lost. For the occasional visitor, who has scheduled time to howl at the full moon while on a deserted island in a most inebriated state, this is a book that can entertain you between those moments when you are imagining sobriety in the dawns early light while you are on the hunt for breakfast of chili peppers and more cheap beer. This is a cartoon book found nowhere else on earth and appeals to no one else on earth other than the tourist, occasional visitor, expat to Thailand or perhaps one or two of those faint of heart stay at homes who like to peep through the safety of key holes into the adventures of life that is beyond the frame work of their own front doors. The author is lost to some village somewhere in the up north of Thailand where he is busy knocking out yet another book... only this time it is a book of text... a book where the rampant reader will find himself captivated by the same adventures illustrated in the three volumes of Up to you. Only this time it will be in word form and you, the reader, will be put to task to imagine on your own, the scenes laid out for you by this most cunning and entertaining author of words and pictures so well presented. You may want to use these four volumes as research material. I can't wait.
About the Author: The author spends most of his time hanging around the house listening to the tales brought to the porch by his neighbors... They talk and drink his beer while he take notes and laughs his head off.... It's like running a backwater insane asylum, but more fun. The author has lived in the area for nine years and still doesn't own his home nor does he own the car he drives. Chilies are still an amazing food. Beer with hard water is just fine, and mangy dogs, under foot, in any restaurant, are but the ambience that makes this country an amazing place. Cheers.
