Erich Origen presents "Don't Let the Republican Drive the Bus!" at Diesel Bookstore

Diesel, A Bookstore in Oakland welcomes bestselling humorist Erich Origen to the store to celebrate his hilarious new parody, Don't Let the Republican Drive the Bus!, on Thursday, August 16th at 7pm.

From the satirical masterminds behind the New York Times bestseller Goodnight Bush comes this scathingly funny political parody of the contemporary children's classic Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! As any parent of a small child will tell you, these days it seems like the Republican Party is taking its tactical and ideological cues from a screaming, mid-tantrum toddler. In this spot-on spoof, Erich Origen and Gan Golan take on the Republican political machine, represented here by a cartoonish (yet uncannily realistic) vulture who desperately wants to drive the bus, even though he hates public transit... in fact, hates anything with the word "public" in it. Will you let him drive?

Erich Origen and Gan Golan are the writing and illustrating team behind the bestseller Goodnight Bush and The Adventures of Unemployed Man. They live in Oakland, California.
