Stink is short. And he's shrinking! Every day he makes his moody older sister, Judy, measure him and he is always the same size. When one day he measures up shorter, Stink decides that the time has come to take some action! Failing to make himself taller by gelling his hair into spikes, Stink soon realizes that maybe being short isn't such a problem - he'll just have to wait till he's older if he wants to be taller. A must for comic book fans, this book features inventive comic strips about Stink and his larger-than-life adventures!
