O Say Can You See Your Nose?
You've been looking at your nose all your life. So has everybody else. (Theirs, that is, not yours.) It’s a translucent mound of flesh jutting into your field of view. It's barely noticeable, but it’s always there—your brain just programs it out. But one day Thomas Register’s brain stopped programming it out. And something remarkable happened to his consciousness. And it could happen to you!

His calendars won the World Calendar Award as the most unique calendars on the planet. His 1 1/2 Man Band is the only act where the performer gets kicked out of his own show for heckling himself. A Novel Without Words is exactly that: with nary a single word, a heartening and uplifting story unfolds. He drew the world first comic on a Mobius strip, with no beginning and no end. And his books confirm his self-appointed job description: an Imaginationist!
