Have you heard the one about the lesbian pixie called Tinker Bull, who takes on a shipload of Roman Catholic pirates without the help of her old friend Peter Plan, who has become an investment banker? Or the one about the Crocodazzi, an insatiable investigative journalist who happens to be a crocodile? The punch lines are in the story called T-Bull and the Lost Men, a funhouse mirror masquerading as a book. Of course it's more than just punch lines: there's its educational slant, too Like discovering how certain pirates can be natural capitalists, or even how organic pixie dust is made. It is satire that cuts close to the skull and crossbones of organized religion, capitalism, academia, and the media.
