A local author's book release is scheduled for Sept. 15 at 9 a.m. at Northwoods Community Elementary School. The book, "I Brought a Hodag to School," was written and illustrated by professional cartoonist Thomas Barnett who created Bob the Hodag. "Barnett was inspired to create Bob the Hodag after painting a mural of this loveable character on the walls of the local Northwoods Community Elementary School," according to a press release announcing the visit. "After a fifth-grader lovingly named him Bob, he came to life and inspired this children's book series featuring the character. Bob the Hodag has a Facebook page for all of his fans at www.facebook.com/BobtheHodag."

Barnett is a proud member of the National Cartoonists Society and delivers daily humor through his comic strip at www.lilmiesters.com. He has published works from Stackpole books and American Angler magazine, and is also the illustrator for the Bible Pathway Adventures app.

He will spend the week working with each grade level discussing the process he went through to write and illustrate the book. He will also guide all the students through a "Let's Draw Bob!" tutorial.

Barnett will be signing books for students and families during the week at NCES.

NCES is located at 9086 County Highway K, Harshaw, WI 54529. The phone number is (715) 282-8200.
