Noonaville

Welcome to Noonaville, the figment of renowned Sunday Times Style cartoonist Stephen Bolton's brilliantly warped imagination. Noonaville is a kind of suburban open jail for the criminally strange. A fictitious every town of suburban weirdness. A place in the middle of everything and the centre of nothing. Nothing, that is, apart from a few well meaning and quirky inhabitants struggling with the daily issues of life, love, work, death and Atomic Brand Laundry Powder Syndrome. This is the second book in the Noonaville cartoon series. It's a bit like the first one but it smells nicer. Stephen Bolton was born in 1966 in the lush green suburbs of Auckland, New Zealand. The early part of his life was taken up with going to the beach, looking in the fridge, riding bikes, learning to swim, fighting with his brothers, eating pizza, mowing lawns and going to school. After that it’s all a blur. He works as a cartoonist, illustrator and painter. His work appears in The Sunday Times’ Style magazine, Good Housekeeping, Media Week, The New Zealand Listener and elsewhere. His paintings can be seen in a number of pleasantly appointed lounge rooms in Auckland.
