Again, I never imagined Dav Pilkey would almost make me cry, but here we are. I love Big Jim. I love Lil' Petey (always!). I love all the literary allusions (even Bible verses! and Mr. Rogers... you got me with Mr. Rogers). Also in the "about the author" bit when he talks about his teacher ripping up his comic and saying he can't make comics all day but "Fortunately Dav was never a good listener"? Wow. Wow, wow, wow. :)
