Inspired by everyday life but magnified with a vivid imagination, Anderson's world is populated by memorable title characters, including: "The Stifled Piper", whose wife tamed his fearsome bagpipe playing with cotton and oatmeal; "The Frozen Skier", on a midwinter, cross-country ski vacation in Winthrop, Washington; and "The Caledonian Chopper", a demon terrorizing the roads astride his hellish motorbike.
You'll laugh, you'll scratch your head, and you'll look at your every day with a refreshingly light-hearted irreverence.
