Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 2007

He's heavily armed, skinny legged and dangerous. He s Pete the PO'd Postal Worker. Through rain, sleet and dark of mood, he perseveres. With teeth clenched and eyes darting, he confronts his exacting coffee-break-filled work day, his oppressive four weeks of paid vacation, the onerous guarantee of a generous overnment pension. Is it any wonder that rage builds inside him until tick, tick, tick like a mail bomb he frequently, publicly, often violently explodes? A letter from your Uncle Lou in one hand and a magnum from Wal-Mart in the other, Pete delivers with extreme prejudice. And in this, his very special children s book for adults, Pete delivers macabre laughs for the sick and twisted kid in all of us.

Editorial Reviews

Review

How do you describe this!!!!! It's an adult, children's book. Its the original concept of Michael Smith for the Pete the P.O.'d Postal Worker character that was so twisted that even Marcus P. Meleton Jr. was afraid to publish it in it's original form. Now you can see Pete in his most raw form. He's got anger management problems. He is obsessed with mail. He should not be allowed to mix with the general public. You now get the 44 magnum force of experiencing his life --Marcus Meleton

Pete is as twisted an idea as the characters in the comics I produce. I wish I had thought of it. Drawing Pete is not a bad second choice. --Douglas Paszkiewicz
