Living and working on the top floor of the former Sanderling Urinal Works, Wetzel's alter-ego has composed a laugh-out-loud tribute to his beloved hometown of Sycamore Shadows, Ohio. Often dark, frequently irreverent, always gentle, Wetzel has created a vibrant portrait of the small town everyone wishes they could visit. A compilation of his essays and newspaper columns from the past year. "Wetzel is the premier humorist on Plane Tree Lane. The other 26 people don't even come close." Sycamore Shadows Evening Shade, after naming Wetzel the "Sycamore Shadows Author of the Year." "Funny and insightful, Wetzel has reduced the universe to a town of 500 eccentric and unforgettable characters." An anonymous housewife in Iowa. "I suppose there could be someone who reads it and doesn't laugh, but I wouldn't want to meet them." Dr. Nicholas Andraca, Castoreum College, Castor, PA.
