Warning: this book contains lots of disgusting snot, booger, mucus, and drippy, sticky gunk. The title should tip you off: Captain Underpants and the Big, Bad Battle of the Bionic Booger Boy, Part One, by Dav Pilkey. This is the sixth in the Captain Underpants series of graphic novels.
Even if you're a fan of Captain Underpants already, you might not like this if you don't like stories about snot blowing and dripping and flinging and flying. Because that's basically all that happens this time.
You might already know that Harold Hutchins and George Beard are two friends at school who have a knack for getting into trouble. They are budding comic book artists. They write and illustrate their own series of comics featuring a superhero named Captain Underpants.
In reality, they have hypnotized their school principal, Mr. Krupp, to turn into this superhero whenever he hears a finger snap. He strips down to his underwear and a cape and flies off to fight evil, villains, and silly made-up monsters, like the one in this book.
The humor here is mostly based on the grossness of a robot who was crossed with a classmate who sneezed, producing a snot-dripping robotic kid monster thingie. At any rate, if you think kids sneezing and spewing mucous everywhere is funny, you'll love this book.
Finding and collecting classic comic books for fun and profit is something interesting, but it can be difficult. With so many places to see, narrowing the choices can be painstaking, until now. Consider finding a rare book and get yourself on the right path to ground imagination or commercial success.
