This is brilliant. Made me laugh and smile the whole way through. Thank you!
Z was the road outta town
You need an agent to get this published. I collect Alphabet books and have not seen one like this. It’s great.
I agree, I’d buy books of this for gifts. Please send me one! 🙂
Jason Novak, you made me smile from A-Z. Thank you.
Jason Novak – I’ve been a long time fan and now this-
Fabulous! Who knew we needed another alphabet book but YES!
E actually makes sense — when you’re frightened you go “EEEEEEEEE!”
No solution for the mysterious Z?? …. ALIENS!
And here’s the proof:)

It come from an egyptian hieroglyph.
But according to wikipedia, Zed represented “zayin” which means weapon…
I’d definitely buy this as a book or POSTER …
Z == snake, drunk.
This was great. Now please explain the origin of all the characters used in Asian countries.
Is it supposed to be factually incorrect?
This is wonderful. Jason Novak is the man.
Z comes from “Zain” representing a type of weapon in Phoenician 🙂
