COLOURFUL

“Not only is Michael de Adder one of the top visual satirists in Canada, he is also one of the smartest. Here, he successfully tiptoes the fine line between laughing with the colourful character (and characters) of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians, and laughing at them. With good reason. We know where he lives.” — Dawn Chafe, editor of Atlantic Busines

From our dialect to our traditions to our weather, Mike has captured the essence of what it is to be from our province. Distinct, resilient and unapologetically proud of who we are and where we have come from, this wonderful collection will be sure to capture the hearts of all who read it.” — Danny Williams, former Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador
