Del Dingo

Here's a first for everyone's favorite bunch of Book Monkeys: an all-new, totally original, not swiped from another company concept! Coming this January from Infinite Monkeys Press :

Dogrageous Fortune: the Trials of Del Dingo

From Ibn al'Xuffasch and Lottie Angelique, the twisted minds responsible for the irreverent hit Smelly Cat's in the Cradle and the festive Zealot Zapping Zebra's Zodiac Zoo comes yet another anthropomorphic breach of comic book decorum.

Master thief Del Dingo was in a jam. After successfully infiltrating the Cerberus Canine Collective in order to pilfer the legendary Thunderific Diamond, Del accidentally triggered a mystical portal, and soon discovered that the Collective's name was more than just an affectation. Flung upon the shores of Hades, navigating down the river Styx in Charon's stolen ferry, Del must evade Cerberus's plague dogs if he ever hopes to escape back to reality. Along the way he stumbles across the den of the End of Times Gang: Pustule, the Pig of Pestilence; Fetid, the Fowl of Famine; and Wipeout, the Walrus of War. What's the connection between Del and the long lost member of the gang, Deletion, the Dingo of Death? What is the true secret of the Thunderific Diamond? When Del has to face the head (er, make that heads) of the Cerberus Collective, will his didgeridoo playing be enough to sooth this savage beast? And what the heck's up with that talking fern, anyway?

38 pages, $19.68, shipping Jan. 27.

Haha, wow. That's great. I want it. Curiously, where did the name Del Dingo come from? 'cause coincidentally, a friend of mine goes by the alias of Del Dingoe and has for quite some time. Hence how I happened upon this page. If this work is currently in obtainable existence, I must have it.
