Ryan Westcott is ready to step into the family business, armed with a fresh MBA degree from a prestigious business school. Yet his father has other ideas. He feels Ryan needs more education—but not the kind one gets from a school. Ryan is sent to his uncle’s Montana ranch to learn, in short, how to be a man. While Ryan helps his uncle build a barn, he learns life lessons about health, work, finances, education, selfessness, humility, and most important of all, love. Ryan meets the richest man in the county, only to find riches are not always counted in dollars and cents. And then there is Kayla, the pretty country lass who awakens deep feelings in Ryan he never knew he had, and challenges him to live a life of true purpose. Along the trail, Ryan meets one more person, one who will upend all else and change his life forever. There is more to life than just what we see in our limited view. Come travel the “Big Sky” country with Ryan, and find the purposeful life that awaits you. Bonus: Also included is The Rancher’s Guide to Living Life on Purpose to help you reflect and discover your purpose in living.

Compiled from the eight Stickboy comic books, this contains the full arc of the Stickboy saga that developed over sixteen years. Starting at homelessness and ending in Hell, the trail covers a wide, turd covered path of bitching and moaning. A philosophical poop-fest, as rude as it is insightful, it’s a punk mystic’s manifesto, creating a new religion from the scraps left after everything falls apart. Or it’s an idiot’s joke book for deranged a-holes. Who knows? Underground comics god, Robert Crumb, said Stickboy #1 was, “Hilarious stuff, full of nihilism and agonizing over the big questions… love it.” Then he said the publisher must be out of his mind. Well, this publisher certainly is, that I know for sure. The author/artist, Dennis Worden, also wrote The Way Of The Good Hedonist, a nonfiction, non-comic book that went way further into the philosophical “poop fest” that stunk up the Stickboy books. Publisher of that is out of his mind too.

Autobiographical relics pulled from the addled brain a former suburban teenage "hippie" punk on drugs at the tail end of the infamous 1960's. The place was Huntington Beach California, in conservative Orange County, near the source of the legendary "Orange Sunshine" LSD. Not something a 16 year old should be experimenting with but teens will be teens and it was at an opportune time when such things were new, exciting, and irresistible, being hailed, praised, and vilified from the mountaintops. So why not get dosed at Disneyland? Or at school? Or slip LSD into your father's coffee? Or combine pot, barbiturates, LSD, and PCP? Why not indeed. Included are some actual artifacts from the time, several pages of drawings and doodles the author excreted while a suburban teen on various drugs. Examine at your own risk.Also added to the mix are some childhood memories and weird dream stories. Anything autobiographical got tossed in, why not?This is a new expanded version of the original comic book that came out in 1992. It has two added stories, five more pages of teenage doodles, and a psychedelic update.The author is also responsible for Stickboy, the underground comic series, and The Way Of The Good Hedonist, a philosophy book of sorts, all available on Amazon.

Suburban Teens On Acid

This is a collection of some of Dennis Worden's earliest underground comic work, including his first comic story ever, combined with other faves, obscurities, obscenities, and whatever else he felt like throwing in. Some appeared in his first (garage printed, 1982) book, SLUR. Others were in Weirdo, Bongo Dick, Stickboy, Pedestrian Vulgarity, and various other publications. There's a full 20 pages of The Floating Skull, the poor levitating cranium that only wants to be friends but (spoiler) has a very inconvenient violent streak getting in the way. The other 70 pages include everything from a big load of GOB strips, to Fetus Of Nazareth, to Wizard Of Shit, to the Pathetic Worm (I hope you're picking up that this crap ain't for kids). He even made a couple of never before seen "foto funnies" from the infamous Stickboy Video. So don't be a wimpy loser, make friends with a deranged creature that just might bite your face off.
