Overview

The Extra Ordinarily Ridiculous Tale of Captain Jumbo Shrimp is a wonderfully absurd, oxymoron-packed adventure following the famously unknown hero, Captain Jumbo Shrimp - a confident yet uncertain sea captain who thrives in a world where contradictions make perfect sense. Captain Jumbo Shrimp sails the Almost-Not-Quite Ocean in his modern antique submarine, The Dry Ocean, navigating brightly dim waters, politely impatient squids, and islands that are both newly old and largely miniature. With equal parts humble arrogance and hopeful confusion, he sets off to uncover a treasure that is guaranteed-optional, guided by a map filled with contradictory X's. Along the way, he's welcomed with enthusiastic boredom by island locals, feasts on fresh leftovers and jumbo mini snacks, and digs through instant slow motion to uncover a treasure chest full of emptiness-only to discover that sometimes, joyful disappointment is the greatest reward. Filled with whimsical contradictions, bold comic-style illustrations, and delightfully paradoxical logic, this story celebrates imagination, silliness, and the wonderfully tangled ways adventures can unfold. In the end, Captain Jumbo Shrimp sails home under the dull brilliance of afternoon night, ready for the next expected surprise in his perfectly disastrous life.
