Description

This is an illustrated book written in the style of a children’s book that takes a humorous look at a serious subject by telling the story as if told to a child. The text takes you from the 2010 accident on the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform to the final capping of the leak, illustrated in the manner of a comic book, with 50 hand-drawn pictures. It is a satirical romp through the seemingly endless oil spill drama of the summer of 2010 off the coast of Louisiana, and the reactions of everyone involved. Through satire, the book draws attention to how the policies and actions of big institutions we all deal with – corporations, government, scientific organizations – are always going to be subject to the failings and idiosyncrasies of the people who run them. The cast of characters: BP managers, Tony Hayward, TV news people, birds and turtles, a judge, scientists, tiny oil-eating microbes, President Obama, Ken Feinberg, and people living near the spill.
