DEDICATION

This one is for my friends, without whom I wouldn't have had the inspiration to take what I do for fun and turn it into something greater.

I also wish to thank my parents, who have never stopped believing in me, through thick and thin.

Finally, I extend a massive and special thanks to Rodrigo, the incredibly talented illustrator who took a chance by walking around inside my imagination with me. Thank you for your help in bringing these characters to life!

PREFACE

Greetings from Darbyshire, a town in which wacky and offensive characters struggle mightily against the nature of modernity. Welcome to the Jungle is the first installment in the Darbyshire series, and introduces a handful of the fictitious municipality's inhabitants in ferociously punchy short stories.

Darbyshire is a series of meme-grade, literary hail Marys. Like a funhouse mirror, the tales warp the depressing reality of the modern world into something so exceptionally gay, even stoic loggers and dry seamen will drop their faggots and forget about their crabs as they attempt to retard their titillation.

This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places and incidents either are products of the author's imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual events, locales, or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.

Strong men create good times,

Good times create weak men,

Weak men create hard times,

Hard times create strong men.

I just lost the game.
