Foreword
May I be so forward…
I have known Mr. Cowne in and out of his various personalities and fortitude for several years now… or is it that I have always known him… Anyway, the point is that I’ve known him, but not bionically. It was my honour to be asked to forward this mammoth tome of significant interest to those whom have some understanding of the universe and would like to know more. I can’t say that this book will offer you that knowledge in a way that you expect. Simply, I can say that it will offer you something you won’t expect, and it will do so with massive gusto and in a way that you will remember for a long time afterwards.
Consider this book like a very, and I do mean extremely, hot vindaloo curry. It goes in, it kills everything that is irrelevant, and it passes through you like wild horses, leaving you feeling fully cleansed and ready to take on the world. I would recommend the book to anyone (except those undergoing bowel surgery) and everyone (except those who believe in conspiracy theories beyond the absolute conspiracy of “self”). The verbiage is punctual, enticing, and full of flavour and the mushroom element is the piece-of-resistance, offering a psychotropic re-evaluation of the state of humanity which, let’s face it folks… has come to simply be wavering on a knifes edge.
Geoff’s imaginative take on the human experience comes from deep dives into the subconscious, some of his doing, some that occurred without prompting and some devolved from sheer stupidity… Only their culmination is a fireworks’ displacement of talent beyond the normal, some may call it abnormal… I just sit in awe, as if watching the northern lights. Trump, et al., eat your hearts out.
I wish this book and Geoff as much success in the world and as his appetite can handle. In addition, I hope more people can get to read and become accustomed to the revelations of a genuine comic talent that has been hidden for decades behind the curtain of Romance Obstinate Bureaucracy. Long live the revolution!
