Taj Mihelich
25 November 2020

Transport: general interest; Humour; Jokes & riddles; Cycling

This book is 164 pages of my cartoons and doodles. There is a bunch of bicycle comics (including a number from Sunday Comics with Taj series on Pinkbike), lots of low- brow humor, dad jokes, questionable puns, and some things that are probably only funny to me. There's a few things I'm actually serious about, but hopefully you can't tell, and even a few essays. I call it a collection of not-too-artsy-fartsy work I've done over the last few years (though, there are a few fart jokes).

Hopefully you'll find a giggle in here somewhere.

Note to parents: This is not the follow up to my children's book, Bernie the Bike Builder. I sincerely hope there is nothing in this book that will offend anyone too much, but there is a few f-words (f
*ck and f
*rt). Some of the humor might not be appropriate for young readers, heck, some of the humor isn't even funny!

Reviews for Back Before They Invented Open Face Helmets: A Book of Cartoons and Doodles

"""Equal parts autobiographical introspection and self-deprecating witticism, Back Before They Invented Openface Helmets is a remarkably poignant read. Some of the illustrations we originally commissioned have made their way into its pages alongside a collection of his other doodles. The book is incredibly funny, but it's also an inspirational roadmap for anyone trying something new. A beacon for staying motivated."" Brian Park, Head of Editorial at Pinkbike"
