    Discover the wisdom of ages with Gavin Aung Than’s comic renditions of popular quotes from the Zen Pencils webcomics.

    Summary of the Book

    Zen Pencils: Cartoon Quotes from Inspirational Folks begins with a simple enough surmise. Gavin Aung Than, a cartoonist, began by drawing simple post-like artwork centred around inspirational quotes. He added flavour to his artwork by blending in his own storylines and interpretations, bringing readers an ensemble of characters they know and love. One of these characters, the Shaolin Monk, has become the very symbol of Zen Pencils and Gav’s heritage. This book is a valuable addition to the library of all fans of Gav’s work, and it will encourage them to pursue their own dreams and to find their purpose.
