The Gospel According To Bombastus (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781962316194)

What began as countless daily texts from Brutus to make Stevo laugh at work soon evolved into their final collaborative venture. The pair's original scheme, Stevo working at a fortune cookie factory swapping standard fortunes for Brutus' quotes, failed when he was fired for refusing to wear a hair net. They quickly moved on to plan B, a page-a-day calendar, and Stevo began illustrating Brutus' texts. That project was paused when Brutus passed in 2023, then restarted when Kevin Ausmus selected the strongest entries for a chapbook. The final product, The Gospel According To Bombastus, explores topics from biology to theology with wit, wisdom, and weirdness.
