Just The Facts-Brett Hamil
Brett Hamil is really cool. He is a cartoonist with a penchant for skewering our local hypocritical politicians and pearl clutching cults. He also published Sk8 Dad Summer, a lovely reflection on the summer in which Brett first built a mini ramp in his yard. Brett is also a stand up comic, currently hosting a […]
