The Baking of BREADSTERS
I love to doodle. And I doodle what I love. Carbs of various kinds top that list.
Around the time I was in middle school, I had doodled characters like Mr. and
Mrs. Muffin, Mr. and Mrs. Donut, and Mr. and Mrs. Roll. Eventually, I sketched
their kids. That's how Stud Muffin, Buttery Toast, Guchi Roll, and other
characters were born.
During the summer after 7th grade, I visited a museum of the famous
cartoonist, Mario Miranda, in Goa, India. I was hooked. The influence a
cartoonist can have -- blending art, observation, and humor to make a
statement -- excited me. As I worked on Breadsters, I thought I should
represent them with different breads from around the globe. After all, bread,
in all its various forms, is the most widely consumed food in the world, and
has been an integral part of our diet for thousands of years. In fact, recent
scholarship suggests humans started baking bread at least 30,000 years ago.
(Thank you, History.com).
The comic strips or "carb-toons" in this book were created over a period of
five years. As I grew up, graduated from middle school to high school, and
have risen to becoming a senior in high school, so have these Breadsters.
They looked different when they started in 2013. And just like me, they look
slightly more mature now. Each chapter is an assortment of the comic strips
drawn over this period of time, and has been introduced with my ruminations
on that particular slice of life. More comic strips (I try to publish one every
week during the school year) that are not included in this book, can be found
on www.breadsters.com or www.facebook.com/thebreadsters.
Each year of my high school presented its own unique set of joys, challenges,
and opportunities. But they also contributed magnificently in helping me
understand myself a bit better. As this self-awareness grew, my comics
become more personal and specific. Friends, peers, and parents who followed
Breadsters on social media reminded me, by their comments and messages,
that they were all going through similar struggles, turmoil, and milestones.
We were all in it together
I hope this collection of comics helps every middle and high-schooler
remember this: Whatever you are feeling, you are not alone. It may feel
isolating when you are staying up late to finish your homework, that you
are the only person working hard while the rest of the world is comfortably
tucked away and sleeping (or worse, having fun ). Or you are the only person
in conflict with your parents' overbearing restrictions. But, as the following
comics prove, you're in good company.
I hope you enjoy this labor of love.

Like it was written by George Santos
Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
I had hopes for this book but was not expecting what I would read within the pages. If your kink is deplorable grammar, incoherent sentences, and inconsistent messages, then this book is for you. At first, I thought the book I received was not the book I ordered. But as I dived in, it was very confusing. I would not recommend this book to anyone
There are not many reviews on the internet for this book. In researching the many stores selling the book, it was self-published which makes a lot of sense. The online description is written perfectly, so reading the actual book was very difficult. Pages two and three are written clearly as well as the table of contents. Pages 155 and 156 are also written logically.
It appears this book was written, then sent through a program like “Grammarly.” Once completed it seems it was published without being re-read or edited. The first clue was the title narrative that used “Has” instead of “As.” The table of contents is one page off from what it shows on pages four though seven. Many of the “q’s” are written as “[]”
Below are some examples of what was within the pages of this book written verbatim:
“Chains & Discipline/ Domination & entry/ Sadism & Masochism (BDSM) is a wide classification of bed room play.” Page 9
“When bringing up the topic of chains, you are actually asking a person to offer you their depend on, their flexibility, and also possibly their suggestion of security in exchange for sensual/sexual enjoyment, power-play, and also feasible re-evaluation of your very own connection.” Page 39
“Techni[]ue can take a selection of kinds and also be as easy or facility as you pick to (new paragraph) bargain for your details scenario” Page 52
“BDSM stands for chains as well as entry, technique and also supremacy as well as sadism and also masochism.” Page 125
“SHELF means Risk Aware Consensual Kink.” Page 130
“Approval is whatever.” Page 152
“your twist isn’t my twist, yet your twist is OKAY.” Page 153
“You can be a top, base, or button” Page 153
Good service, good book. Just what I was looking for! Thank you!
