Mr Grumblebum and the Graffiti Gang by David Graham and illustrated by Salvador Capuyan (self published by the author and Xlibris Books.) RRP $16.99 ISBN 979 836949477 651399

Community-minded Mr Grumblebum notices lots of graffiti being sprayed around his home town of Farleigh as he rides and walks around town. He decides he should try to do something about removing the ugly graffiti. 

Mr Grumblebum gains support from the Farleigh Council who after a long meeting decide to supply him with a “Graffiti Buster” van which would hold all the required equipment. After a while of cleaning off graffiti and painting  out  “hot spots’ Mr Grumblebum  soon realises that much of his work is in vain as a couple of days later the Graffiti Reappears.

Mr Grumblebum then decides to catch the Graffiti Gang “red-handed”  and sets about  various plans to catch up with the gang and confides  with his loyal cat Foo.
