| Publisher Description: Across the world there are many an artiste - But none so outrageous as Joe, the Fartiste. The Fartiste doesn't sing, he doesn't dance, and he doesn't act. But that doesn't stop him from taking the stage at Paris's famed Moulin Rouge, where he performs his much-loved act for celebrities and royalty with the funniest talent of all - Joe is the man who has perfected the art of the fart. Kathleen Krull and Paul Brewer bring new wind to their mostly true story about the man who made his pants dance, which is perfectly matched with Boris Kulikov's explosive art. |
