Operation Cauliflower
by Davide Predosin, Lucrece
Casually forgotten during the umpteenth escape of the grungy circus in which he grew up, the child (or the boy) with cotton candy hair decided to travel the world in search of fortune. Soon, Bored Owl (Gufo Stufo), an owl unsatisfied with his life and with his hoot, and Minor Tiger, a puppy tiger, unable to enjoy hunting and laziness between meals, joined the child with cotton candy hair. When they arrived in the Mega-megalopolis, they meet some street children that bring them to a scientist called Squared Head. The luminary, considering the talent of the three guys, recruits them to block the mad plan of the Doc Geoff Lindemberg Lindemberg, a MTG (Mildly Tall Giant) who wants to destroy all the cauliflower in the world and bulldoze the globe. Our new heroes will therefore extricate themselves from the kidnapping of Dr. M – who works perpetually on the shrinking ray for mildly tall giant, unfinished due to his insane attachment to his mother – and from the sabotage of the Mega Anti-Cauliflower Spray of the Doc Geoff Lindemberg Lindemberg and of his gang of mildly tall giant bikers. A picaresque novel, absurd and partly wacky, Cauliflower Operation is the surreal and fantastic story of the redemption of grungy but willing outcasts. A story that moves between friendship, action, love and unexpected miraculous properties of cauliflowers.
