This review is from: Confessions of a Ex-Doofus-ItchyFooted Mutha (Paperback)

Melvin Van Peebles fostered Afro-American cinema and indie films and here provides a graphic novel that was inspiration for his latest film, offering a set of black and white drawings of a lonely man's search for love in all the wrong places. A Doofus wanders the world on a futile quest: stills from the film blend with original drawings and dialogue to provide a fun addition to any graphic novel or film library.
