Hilariously recasting everyone's favourite crypto-zoological hominid as the modern day everyman, In Me Own Words tells of the hairy one's brave struggles with eating disorders, casual cannibalism, pop culture and philosophical quandaries. In a graphic novel that is a crazed mutant hybrid of Ralph Steadman and Bill Sienkiewicz, Graham Roumieu gives us a portrait of the artist as a young ape that will leave every reader doubled over with laughter. Fifty million X-Files fans can't be wrong: the truth that's out there is that Bigfoot is the next Elvis.
Graham Roumieu's illustrations have appeared in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Canada's National Post and The Progressive, among other publications, and will be published in the forthcoming A Really Super Book About Squirrels by Graham Taylor. Having studied illustration at Sheridan College, he now lives in Toronto, where he enjoys staring off into space in his spare time. This is his first book.
