This short graphic novel is fun. The parodies of ads like you used to see in comics are funny. The artwork and characters are interesting. And there is even a "centerfold" (of a cellphone tower). Birdseye Bristoe refers to the towns near where the eccentric main character "Uncle" lives. Uncle is a major landowner in town and is allowing a massive cellphone tower to be built on his property with the addition of a giant crossbar making the tower into a huge cross. The story begins with the destruction of the tower and flashes back to 3 months earlier when his great-niece and nephew came to visit. The illustrations are what really makes this slim book a winner because there is so much detail to look at.
