About this ebook
Meet Peacock Pete.
Pete isn't one man. He's a type — and once you learn to spot him, you'll start seeing him everywhere.
In the pub. At the gym. On the golf course. At work. On a date. Wherever there's an audience, there's always the possibility of a little extra chest expansion, an unnecessary display of expertise, or a suspiciously casual mention of something impressive.
Peacock Pete and the Invisible Sweat is a warm, illustrated piece of British observational humour about the small performances, postures and peculiar behaviours we recognise in ourselves — and particularly in other people.
Funny, affectionate and occasionally uncomfortably familiar, it's less about judging Peacock Pete than enjoying the spectacle.
Because underneath all those magnificent feathers, there's often rather more effort going on than anyone is supposed to notice.

About the author
Mark Humphries is a British writer and creator of Wroodles and Wroodles Village — an unfamiliar rural village with surprisingly familiar people. His illustrated observational humour takes a warm, gently satirical look at the peculiarities of everyday human behaviour and the characters we all seem to recognise. With a dry Yorkshire eye for the things people do when they think nobody is noticing, Mark turns familiar situations into humorous stories about very human behaviour. The village is populated with people you might already know.
