Ozwald & the Animal Spirits

My name is Ozwald Leo. It's probably not my name at birth but it's my real name now.
I am a bum by trade who likes his booze. This way of life attracts all kinds of characters, the scariest being psychiatrists. The police automatically refer you to them when you haven't committed a crime, but look out of control.
After these mind readers are done with you, they send you back to the streets. Now to me, you have a couple choices, go to some kind of counselling or spend the cash they give you on cheap wine.
Now counsellors can't accept panhandling and garbage picking as legitimate jobs. So when you insist that this is your profession, they automatically recommend you for psychiatric treatment (vicious circle). So I always choose the alcohol.
Then without any warning you're abducted and shipped to the ASYLUM. But if you're lucky enough to get free, your journey is unbelievable.
Note: The two story concept is explained on the back cover.
