About the Author
Willard Watson III
Willard Watson III is a jack of all trades, a man about town, author, illustrator, bassist, gamer, & root beer connoisseur.
Originally from Fayetteville, North Carolina, Willard has called the High Country home since 2008. When choosing to move to Boone for college, he didn’t realize he was really returning home, well his name was anyway. He learned that his great-grandfather and namesake was sort of a local legend, and quickly found himself in the new world of Appalachia. He fell in love with the High Country community and began working on non-profit arts festivals like the Doc & Rosa Lee Watson Musicfest and the High Country Beer Fest.
After a decade in the non-profit arts sector he decided to put his masters degree in Appalachian Studies to good use and finally write a book, turns out it is a comic book about his great-grandpa’s accidental acid trip!
“I never got to meet my great-grandparents in person, but this project has allowed me to spend countless hours with them. They live on in this fictional world, just one foot through the looking glass.
It would mean the world to me if you would share this book with someone or share your thoughts about the book with me.”

In addition to his work on Ramblin’ Hobo, Willard also enjoys designing event posters.
