This Is Your First Rock Garden, Isn't It? by Adrian Raeside

It's different over there. Everybody east of Washington, Oregon, and California knows it. But defining the West Coast as not like the East Coast leaves way too much of the story untold. No, far better to turn to Adrian Raeside's This Is Your First Rock Garden, Isn't It?, perhaps one of the most informative -and certainly funniest-explanations to ever depict the westernmost portion of our country. Raeside represents the perfect comic commentator on what makes Other Coasters tick. He was born a Kiwi, lived in England, and now resides in British -close enough for a good view without having to get mixed up in the muddle that passes for the West Coast lifestyle and its many subcultures. Instead, the cartoonist accurately sheds light and humor on residents who put their own unique spin on everything from cars and coffee to extreme sports and the latest out-there technology.

Adrian Raeside was born in the New Zealand city of Dunedin in 1957. He came to England with his parents when he was 15 years old, then to Canada, where he worked in a variety of occupations ranging from loading grain ships in Thunder Bay to surveying on the West Coast. Raeside has been an editorial cartoonist for the Victoria Times Colonist for 32 years, and his drawings have appeared in over 200 newspapers and magazines around the world, from the Los Angeles Times to Newsweek Japan. Raeside began making animated editorial cartoons for the CBC Journal in 1988, and has since created, directed, and produced dozens of animated series for Turner Broadcasting and Children's Television Workshoe. Raeside has written nearly a dozen books. He resides in Whistler, British Columbia.
