Extended description

There's trouble in Melbourne again, and Victoria's new assistant police commissioner, the Panamanian Alberto Zapata, is back on the case.

A new airline with onboard casinos is sucking money from the people's pockets, prompting an array of offbeat community groups to take to the streets in protest. And under suspicious circumstances, the city's existing casino is trampled into dust by an elephant stampede.

Zapata is sent to investigate. Meanwhile, Cucumber Gutierrez and his neighbor Kootis watch the drama unfold using a new invention, Commissioner Randhall redeems himself with an impressive feat of heroism, and the prick premier and his oily puppet master are ready for their just desserts.

"Jurassic Prick" is the latest madcap adventure, full of Spanglish humor, from the author of "Broom, Broom" (now available here FREE). Keep a look out for the next episode, "China, Please Give me More," coming soon.

Review by: Ian Scott on Jan. 17, 2013 :
After Sergio's Broom Broom, Zapata's adventures get more imaginative than a Lady Gaga concert, bigger than the elephants,shriller than the parrot and more overwhelming than the chinese body-builder amorous neighbour. Nothing stands in the way of Zapata's excess. He reminds me of Don Quixote. The writing is more bent than Marquez, more amazing than Bulghakov's Master and Margherita. It must be immediately made into a film, so good is the description. If the state of Victoria could match this depiction there would be no mental illness at all. Zapata should breed so we will not be denied on-going inspiration. Now I know how to submit successful job applications. Thank you. If this is earth, then heaven better sharpen up.

Review by: Stuart Naughten on Dec. 16, 2012 :
During a tough and painfully normal day of work, reading this ridiculousness is a good tonic. The humor shocks me away from reality with vivid visual humor, silly violence, cups of cafe and feathers flying everywhere. The humor is unlike anything I've read. I laugh out loud and then don't know why I did!
