Slub Glub in the Weird World of the Weeping Willows
A creepy cute, voodoo cartoon set in a world of ghouls, witches, and pink monkeys. Slub Glub (a blue glob-like creature) has awoken to find his world has been flooded by the tears of the Weeping Willows. His quest to help cure the sadness of the willows leads him on an interplanetary adventure that will reveal the secret meaning of the world. Alongside the beautiful weeping Willowmina, he will encounter raccoon bandits, hyena-riding witches, a Baron who controls ghosts, Seamort the giant squid, and finally Lump-Lump, the Omnipotent Master of All Reality disguised as a beach bum. Like a more twisted Jim Henson or a rockabilly Tim Burton, this is a brilliantly surreal tale for children of all ages and a perfect introduction to the weird world of musician/artist/author Andrew Goldfarb.

This is my favorite Spunk Goblin book so far. Andrew Goldfarb is a completely original dude. From his music to his art to his writing, his work is like drinking a weird potion (or slow poison, if you will) that takes you into his weird and wondrous imagination. It’s hard to describe his overall style, but that’s definitely a good thing.
Slub Glub is a character from Goldfarb’s “Ogner Stump” comic strip. In this story, Slub Glub goes on a wild adventure through his strange world and beyond. The plot is a simple folktale that also ponders the very nature of life itself. And underneath it all is Goldfarb’s style, manifesting itself as a weird mixture of Uncle Remus and the Munsters. It’s accessible to kids but still very intelligent and hyper-stylish. In short, it’s a great read for all ages so start drinking Andrew Goldfarb’s slow poison as soon as possible.

The ending worked well, but could have been a little more thought provoking. I read it to my 8 year old daughter and we both enjoyed every minute of it. Essentially Slub Glub is a shaggy dog story told by a brilliant author. The illustrations are unforgettable as well.
