CHUCKLE

Mike de Adder's brushwork is as inviting as that of Maud Lewis's homey and comfy pictorials, and the ideas are as catchy and memorable as anything by Andy Warhol. Mike de Adder's depictions of Bluenose life are so deft, so telling, that you have no choice but to smile, chuckle, shake your head, and then tear up in nostalgic recollection or acknowledgment of, yep, that that's the way things were — and are — if you're still from Nova Scotia.

BRILLIANT

Cartoonist Michael de Adder may be best known nationally and internationally as a brilliantly witty, spot-on, acerbic social commentator and political balloon-pricker. But in this latest collection, You Might Still Be From Nova Scotia If... Michael shows another, gentler side. He's still brilliantly witty, spot-on, and occasionally acerbic too, but his love for this unique place and our sometimes-quirky ways and wisdoms shines through every page. Recommended for locals and CFAs alike.
