FLIBBERTY GIBBET | An Original Illustrated Story by TWSTD

 FLIBBERTY GIBBET

An original illustrated story by TWSTD.


What happens when your leg won’t leg, your gob won’t gob, and a fuzzy little git called Inconsistence decides to move in?


Meet Lefty.

Meet the pup.

Meet Inconsistence.


And meet one increasingly frustrated bloke trying to work out what the bloody hell is going on.


FLIBBERTY GIBBET is a rhythmic illustrated story about unpredictability, fear, frustration, limited energy, friendship, acceptance — and learning that sometimes managing IT means learning how to manage yourself.


IT doesn’t magically disappear.

There is no triumphant cure.

There is no perfect set of rules.


Eventually, our hero discovers something much more useful:


IT can still be IT.

He can still be ME.


And that’s more than enough.

ABOUT THE STORY


FLIBBERTY GIBBET uses humour, rhyme and absurdity to explore the experience of living in a body that sometimes does things you didn’t bloody ask it to do.


It is a creative work, not medical advice.


If parts of it feel familiar, you’re welcome to laugh along.
