Cupcakes of Doom!: A Collection of YARG! Piratey Comics Paperback Ray Friesen (2009) It's the ultimate showdown, Our Heroic-ish Pirates versus Those Lousy Vikings to decide the fate of a kingdom! Who will be the victorious, bearded, giant-hat-wearing masters of the sea? Their weapons of choice? BAKED GOODS! Deliciously-Evil Viking Pie, a threat to their homemade pirate cookies, forces Captain Scurvybeard and crew to embark on a quest to find the ultimate pastry: The long lost CUPCAKES OF DOOM! It gets rather silly. About the author: Ray Friesen has been drawing cartoons for pretty much his whole life, but has been a professional artist since the age of four (That was the first time he got paid for his art -- a wind energy company used a bunch of his cutesy animals and windmills drawings for their 'clean energy for everyone' campaign.) Ray self-published his first comic book at the age of 12, titled 'The Continuing Adventures of Raymond Q. Wonderful' the titular character of which bore a very similar resemblance to the author. When confronted with claims that he has an enormous ego, Ray will be the first to point out that he is writing this autobiography in the 3rd person. "I'm just great!" he has been known to quip, when feeling especially boisterous. Ray was nominated for the 2003 Ignatz award for Promising New Talent ("the youngest person ever!" Ray claims, though has done no actual research to prove this.) Ray does school visits, so if you are a teacher and would like Ray to chat with your kids, please contact him through his website. Ray was married to his lovely wife Michelle in April of 2013, and they made a tiny human, Wellington Friesen, who was born in October of 2014. Thanks for looking at our listing!
