While Bartholomew and Philemon were rowing on the whale boat, pelican-shaped boats flying in the sky tried to capture the whale. They were only able to capture Bartholomew and Philemon though, which they took to a castle suspended by a rope. They were then mistaken as "cutters of the rope," whom the people had been awaiting for 2, years. Philemon and Bartholomew cut the rope improperly and the castle sank with everyone escaping except the captain who went down with his castle. Philemon and Bartholomew also make it back home.
The first three books in the Philemon series are absurdly delightful.
The illustrations are crude, but the number of literary references are astounding. If you are looking for a trip through strange lands, then you'll enjoy this series. I think it's more geared toward teenagers, but adults might find some pleasure in it as well.

Philemon is a popular French cartoon series that recently has been translated into English by the fantastic young adult publishing series Toon Graphics.
Not only does the company introduce American readers to some of Europe's most popular comics and artists, but they include extensive learning guides and activities for aspiring cartoonists. It's both fun and educational without being too overt about it! Though many of the books reissued by Toon Graphics are aimed at kids, I've learned quite a bit over the past year about many European artists that I otherwise might have overlooked.
A French artist born into a Greek immigrant family, the book's ocean motif filled with surreal characters is a fusion of both Fred's heritage and birthplace.

I can see that but when a co-worker asked me what this book was like, I responded that it was like Monty Python meets the Smurfs. I think both descriptions are accurate. With whimsical beasts, absurd officials, Victorian photography, and the wildest imagination this side of a school full of kindergartners, this book will challenge and delight.
The Wild Piano is the second book in the series. However, you really don't need the book to be caught up with the action in the series thus far. But that doesn't mean you should skip it.

Every other page there was a delightful shift in what you thought was possible.
