How do you plan the perfect road trip?
Firstly, like all good plans, i’d sit back with a nice mug of coffee and ask myself this one simple question:
Why the f*ck am i taking a road trip??
Then, after realising my mistake i’d forget about the whole ordeal and cook a big fat steak instead.
Just for clarity, i’m in the U.K. and even though we are robbed of huge sums of tax money, our roads are rutted with pot holes and canyons. So a road trip aint a nice idea.
You know what sounds good though?
A nice evening in reading a Dookie book!! Here’s a quick run down of Dookie 3.
Dookie 3: Scorched Earth
by Tony Kearns is a satirical post-apocalyptic novel that follows the ex-mercenary Dookie and his squad as they navigate a savage, ruined world. It blends gritty survival themes with chaotic, dark humor—often described as a mix between Mad Max and South Park.
The Plot:
In this installment, Dookie and his misfit crew are backed by the remnants of the government. They are sent into the desert wastelands of World War 3 to protect embattled refugees from an invading horde of rampant “Ass Lickers” and “Ass Demons”. Along the way, they pick up quirky new allies, including a demon named Legion, a man named Joe, and a character known as Hippie Jesus.
The Characters:
Dookie himself is a battle-hardened hero whose main motivators are defeating demons and finding his next cheeseburger. His team of “snowflakes and hipsters” features:
• Getlan: A master of lethal chopsticks.
• Baron: A cross-dresser who typically wears a nun’s habit.
• Hippie Jesus: Exactly who it sounds like.
The Satire:
The book heavily parodies 21st-century issues and politics. It features returning antagonists from the earlier Dookie books, including a caricature of an “overgrown orange toddler” and the depraved leader of Russkyland. It tackles modern political and societal anxieties with a profound, knockabout, and highly absurd comedic tone.
