Tony Edwards, Edited by Sean Doherty
Captain Goodvibes, the thinking man's f_ckwit,
a lovable abomination, a cartoon pig who became
a cult hero to a generation of Australian surfers.
Valiantly battling the three-headed Hydra of sobriety,
employment and authority, the Pig of Steel
took bad taste, substance abuse and pointless
revolution out of the gutter and onto the beach,
souring young lives and stealing the promise of
a bright future from the tiny hands.
But The Captain's story cannot be told without
telling the story of his creator, Tony Edwards;
an artist, family man, a man of refined sensibilities...
and a man who had this horrific creature living
inside him.
My Life as a Pork Chop is 400 pages of the very best
and very worst of Captain Goodvibes.
