Narrative & Nonsense: It Runs in the Family

Josephine has now written and illustrated three books: Schoopy Joopyjops, Whiskogugguppug Heh!, and the soon-to-be classic, The Trinta Balick.

Not to be outdone, Rudy penned his own tome, The Ingergok Monsters.

What follows are excerpts from each book. First, up, Josephine and her avant garde utterances. (as transcribed by her baffled and delighted parents)

From Schoopy Joopyjops:
