Small Canadian Island Makes Fun of US President

SALT SPRING ISLAND, BC, Oct. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Far, far away there's a little Canadian island that's got a great sense of humor.  Tucked in the Salish Sea, between Vancouver and Vancouver Island, British Columbia, is Salt Spring Island, a small patch of West Coast paradise just seventeen by nine miles wide most often known for its organic food markets, flowing attire, healthy cuisine and guitar-strumming hippies. But just recently it's branched in to something new, satire and poking fun at the 45th US President.

This fall, two satirical books written by islanders have arrived on the market.  Crump the Cat by Anna Lussenburg and The President's Great & Unmatched Wisdom for Children & Their Parents by Jack Nealon.

So, is Salt Spring Island a latte-sipping hotbed of sedition?  "Not exactly," says Lussenburg, "but we definitely act like the peanut gallery.  All we can do is make a few good-natured jibes.  For us, the US is the elephant in the room.  We watch but can't do much whilst the elephant breaks the sofa, squashes the tea cakes and makes off with all the cookies."

Both books couldn't be more different though they're both satirical in nature.  Crump the Cat combines biting rhyming satire written by Anna Lussenburg with hilarious illustrations, penned by award-winning Canadian Cartoonist, Greg Perry.  This book tells the story of how all kinds of cats come together to triumph over inequality and discrimination and puts the US President through the spin cycle, in a way best described as Dr. Seuss for grown-ups.

As for the The President's Great & Unmatched Wisdom for Children & Their Parents'  Jack Nealon said, "Imagine if our current President decided to teach parents how to raise their children so that they would grow up to be just like him, and then he wrote a book about it. Though a terrific idea, I think it's unlikely he will do this as he seems quite busy being President, inviting the corona virus into his body and being on TV and then watching himself. So, as a pure act of kindness I wrote it for him."
