Here you'll meet Bob's comically unsympathetic grandmother, who treats his carsickness by stuffing him between his brothers in the backseat: "Bob only throws up because he's near a window and he can." You'll hear about his first teacher crush: "McGaffin was an odd mix of manly and fey; his five o'clock shadow could plunge a room into darkness and yet his handwriting was better than the samples offered in our textbooks." And you'll witness Bob's first brush with fame: His reaction to health filmstrips made him the only boy in the fourth grade who could faint from the sitting position.
Moving, ironic, and tinged with recognition, Bob's new collection is at once bittersweet nostalgic fun and a testament to the unquestionable gifts on a highly original comic writer.
