About This Book

A comic series of daily ship's-log entries by the ark's captain that chronicles the voyage toward Ararat through recurring rain and rising seas. Each entry lists course, weather and wireless reports and offers wry observations about crowded quarters, misbehaving animals, family squabbles, mechanical confusion, seasickness, and small practical crises. Interspersed are mock crew listings and humorous asides that parody travelogues, maritime routine, and contemporary publicity. The tone blends deadpan understatement, domestic satire, and absurdist detail to turn a biblical voyage into an episodic comic chronicle of endurance, logistics, and human foibles.
