About the author

About twice a month, I have a dream that I'm in my house and I discover a fish tank. It's dingy, overgrown with algae, and FULL of fish. They're swimming around and seem to be okay in the murky water, but I feel so horrible. I completely forgot that I had a fish tank. Those little guys must have been breeding like crazy just so they'd have something to eat.

Oh. Copy... PASTE. Travis Nichols is a writer illustrator in Brooklyn. He is the author and illustrator of a tidy heap of award-winning books and comics for kids and post-kids, including The Terribles (series), Betty's Burgled Bakery, Fowl Play, Matthew Meets the Man, and The Monster Doodle Book. He has played in more than a dozen bands you've probably never heard of (how's THAT for indie cred?!), and he enjoys meteorites and eating watermelon over the sink. Find him at iamtravisnichols.com.

Lobotomies a thing of the past?
->Not if you let your kids get obsessed with this tripe. PURE STUPIDITY MADE COOL!

Sure, they teach emotional niceties and understanding- but orchestrated by 0.01¢ simpletons for them to look up to and emulate.

Adults actually wrote this stuff and They dumb it down underground

I think certain recreational substances were necessary for the main writers to get their brainwaves scrambled enough to write then actually submit this for a wide audience. With their tongues hanging out just like the one eyed character!

Nope. Not my thing. A bunch of hip and colorful monster things go on “heroic adventures... like at one point some zombie heroes push a log off of a train track, the end. Or a green rabbit tries to become nicer, but in the end learns its okay if he is a jerk and steals from people. Or some tofu people visit a planet and the locals steal their ship, and the tofu people trip and fall trying to get back to their ship, the end. Or some super heroes try to find a new member, but every applicant is lame, and then their secretary makes a pencil fly, the end. Or a karate girl chops fruit with her hands and finds the ugly dolls inside and they become friends or something.

Just... ugh for me. I guess I don’t get it.
