Last
year T.P. debuted "The Golf Comic BooK" a collection of golf cartoons
which sold out its original press run of 20,000 books, making it one of
the most popular golf humor books never to be sold in stores.
Showtime, HBO, Comedy Central and the major networks have showcased
T.P. Mulrooney's uncanny ability to bring a world of characters to life
on the standup comedy stage. Now he brings the world of golf to life in
this collection of cartoons, all of them holding to T.P.'s philosophy
to be funny about the game without making fun of the game. Jimmy DaPro,
the featured character here, will be the hero of his next book.
Author's Note
Meet
Jimmy DaPro, "Golf Pro to The Mob". His job is complex. He has to
ameliorate the South Side Chicago culture of compromised ethics with
the unbending rules of the game of golf.
Jimmy's an amalgam of
characters I met in eight years of living on Chicago's fabled South
Side, "the baddest side of town" (according to song lyrics by the late
Jim Croce) and the place I learned to play golf. In reality, it's not
so bad as it is colored by the hand of crooked politicians, judges and
other public officials and, of course, The Mob.
That being
said, the South Side is a pretty darn good place to live, "normal"
even, as soon as you learn to accept that normal means getting a great
deal on a set of tires that the private seller swears fell off the back
of a truck.
