There is no richer tradition in college sports than University of Kentucky basketball. Tales from the Kentucky Locker Room recounts the school's glorious roundball history through timeless stories from the players and coaches who shaped it. Some of the stories will leave the reader howling with laughter, others will inspire tears, but all will enable the reader to experience a feeling of closeness to the unique phenomenon that is Kentucky basketball. Former University of Kentucky play-by-play telecaster Denny Trease highlights the hilarious anecdotes and poignant tales told and retold during more than 70 years of Wildcat mania. From the Adolph Rupp era through the new millennium, there has been an endless parade of legendary characters associated with the Big Blue basketball machine, including all-time leading scorer Dan Issel, Kenny Walker, C. M. Newton, and many more. Their remarkable on-court performances, zany antics, and sometimes-subtle one-liners make Tales from the Kentucky...
This illustrated story explains a day in the life of Jet, a hired assassin. It's amazing just the power of one plant to influence so many events in so many different ways. Well, in this case, it just happens to be a cactus at the center of it all.
Jet takes twists and turns throughout the humorous story, as there is nonstop action and humor interspersed from the beginning to the end of this clever tale. You will laugh out loud at the writing, and you will also be intrigued with the colorful visual display which you will relate to the story in your own way.
The artwork in this book starts with a simple photo of a cactus houseplant. Each page shows another step in the photo manipulation process to display a deconstruction, of sorts. It's cool watching how the images develop throughout and affect what you take from the story. The images aren't entirely intended to go along with the story, but as the story unfolds, so do the images, which only adds to the humor.
This is a cool book! Who would have thought I would have a book about my cactus houseplant that started years ago with just one little piece that I broke off from another cactus! The piece of cactus came from an acquaintance, like, five or so years ago, and it is still growing today! It's getting bigger!
So, if you want to, you can read the story of a criminal undertaking within these pages. At the same time, you get to see this artist's visual depiction of how one picture of a cactus can become so many different things along the way.
Eventually, you will learn what the cactus has to do with anything at all in the story, which it so totally does, ha! Learn what that is, all while enjoying this creatively produced, top-notch book by two top-level artists and authors. So, learn the meaning of the cactus! It's cool! Enjoy it! Have fun, and check it out now! Thanks!
