Hairy Holes
Age range 8 to 12
‘Our history is full of stories about hairy people, furry people, yowies, bunyips and monster apes. But this is the story about the hairy holes. The bush judges who kept everything in balance. Until the new people came.’
Ever wonder about the shadows lurking in the bush at night?
Yawuru creator Brenton E. McKenna brings you a superb storytelling experience of the outback supernatural, in his new black-and-white graphic novel, Hairy Holes.
Begley and Redley Hole are two hairy hole people living ordinary lives in the bush — that is until their world is lifted up and tossed on its rear when a lost tourist named Joplin stumbles upon them with promises of friendship and help to search for their parents.
Featuring some of Australia’s toughest animals, suspiciously hairy holes in the desert and a crash course on the wonderful world of the internet, this hilarious graphic novel will crack you up and take you on a ‘kray-zay’ ride — one the whole family will enjoy, hairy or otherwise.
Brenton E. McKenna is a Yawuru artist and writer who fell in love with comic books at a young age. He studied visual arts for two years at Goulburn TAFE and in 2009 was one of twenty successful applicants to be awarded a highly sought-after mentorship with the Australian Society of Authors. Brenton has attended several art workshop/residencies and in doing so has generated much national interest in recent years. He is the creator of the much loved Ubby’s Underdogs series (2011–2019).
