If You Weren't a Hedgehog...If I Weren't a Hemophiliac

Look out--because we went Down Under to find the raw and rubbernecking talent of Andrew Weldon.

Weldon is one of Australia's sharpest humorists; he has delighted, amused, and even appalled readers and fans. He does it again with "If You Weren't a Hedgehog . . . If I Weren't a Hemophiliac..."

LOL. What else can we say?

* His cartoons have appeared in the "Sydney Morning Herald, " the "Age," the "Australian," the "Bulletin," the "Big Issue, Might, Good Weekend, GQ," and on cards for the Ink Group.

* Andrew Weldon's strange, irreverent humor and worldview amuse both the young and the not-so-young.

* What quirky will get you: Weldon's collection of gag cartoons, "I'm Sorry Little Man, I Thought You Were a Hand Puppet," was short-listed in '03 for the Australian Comedy Awards in the category of Outstanding Humorous Books.

* Andrew Weldon has also illustrated and written children's books, including "The Kid with the Amazing Head" and "Clever Trevor's Stupendous Inventions"
