A Man Called Da-da: BEHOLD an unhinged construct of an invisible and itinerant author and satirist, reluctant poet and gentleman scientist, recovering musician and Mr. Mom who adores run-on sentences and Erumpent Grammar Mahabharatas (EGMs) highlighting anything and everything, inasmuch as the subjects pertain to illuminating Word Sense Ambiguation within the Monsanto Plastic House Masses of Tomorrow, while conjuring all manner of gothic parenting humor and horror, weird science, fiendish anomalies and general post-Rapturian zeitgeistiness... or something like that.

"A Man Called Da-da has carved out his own poetic, neo-gothic parenting humor and horror niche. If you can imagine a transporter accident involving Charles Addams, Dr. Spock, Mr. Spock, Kurt Vonnegut and the cast of Monty Python, you might get an idea of what you're in for." — Athanasius Kircher

"Hilarious, thought-provoking and seriously choice. A surprising bastion of taste and truth." — Doc Bunny

"Da-da is the Sleeping Evil Giant of Comedy -- but without all the evil." — Dr. C. Lector

"Sure to be the next Vonnegut." — Kurt Vonnegut
