Mike Peters (Author)

Book Description

Series: Grimmy

He's the Big Kahuna. The Top Banana. The Kings of the Heap!

He's bold. He's dashing. He puts the pomp is pompous. More important: He's never met a leftover he wouldn't eat. He's Grimmy! Lord of the realm and master of all he surveys. Okay...so big deal if his kingdom is an alley and his castle a garbage can. Grimmy is the Henry VIII of canines. And his millions of bullish fans worldwide wouldn't have him any other way.

Hail Grimmy! King of the Heap!

4.0 out of 5 stars FULL OF GOOD LAUGHS, September 24, 2000

By 

Bob (NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Grimmy: King of the Heap (Paperback)

The jokes are fast, furious, and really funny. The price of the book is worth it just for one particular comic strip... it's been years since I first read it, but I still get a hearty laugh every time I read the "St. Francis" gag.
