The Sandwalk Adventures: An Adventure in Evolution Told in Five Chapters

Rating:
Summary: Follicle Mites, Blind Faith, and Evolution
Review: I suspect that Professor Jay Hosler is the wacky science teacher that I've always wanted to be like and I have empirical evidence in the form of his delightful graphic novel The Sandwalk Adventures. In the book, Charles Darwin must convince follicle mites living in his left eyebrow that he is not their creator and that evolution happens. Even though that sounds psycho, Hosler manages to explain the basics of Charles Darwin, evolution, and get in some comments about the dangers of blind faith in an entertaining way. Hosler's drawing style is simple, well done, and was most likely strongly influenced by Herge's Tintin. Even though I'm a geoperson and a high school earth science teacher, The Sandwalk Adventures makes me want to take a couple of Professor Hosler's biology classes!
