The Ballad of Stinky Pete - A Trump Parody Giveaway [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-06-12 This past month I gave myself a challenge: What can I do with a collection of fun faux courtroom sketches and satirical gags based on the Trump Hush Money/Financial Crimes trial? The answer: create a much longer book that takes the satire and story to a whole different level. With the exception of the Pi comic book I created a few decades ago, this new book holds the record for my fastest production. In just 1.5 months, I managed to turn it around. The absurdity of Trump and his minions' actions practically wrote the first half of the book, while the second half evolved into a hard-boiled tragicomedy that I'm still in awe of writing. I'm thrilled to announce that the book is a 72-page collection of illustrations and story that I'm truly proud to publish. I've received the printer's proof for the 8 1/2" x 11" format, and it looks stunning. I'm eagerly looking forward to the moment when I can start shipping these out to people, sharing this unique piece of art with the world. I’ll send one lucky reader a copy of the book! Of course, now comes the real challenge: promotion and distribution. It may be carried on Amazon and Goodreads at the moment, but that in no way guarantees visibility and sales. Thankfully, I purchased my own ISBN numbers, which allow me to sell this book to indie book and comic stores that aren't reached by Amazon. I suspect this project will give me a good education on book distribution. That’s part of the reason why I’m mentioning the book here on DailyKos because: I want to award one luckily reader with a signed copy of the book! The first person who can tell me (in the comments) the name of the newspaper editor from the book will win a copy of the book! Oh heck, I’m feeling extra benevolent, the person who can come up with the best Trump insult will also get a copy of the book!
