A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Bookstore:The Armpit of Doom by Kenn Nesbitt

Proceed with extreme caution.
 
 
A very humorous book of poems with very nifty anime style artwork, with such profundities as the titular poem, concerning the boy with the world's stankyest armpit*, "Gilman Glum", about the boy who not only loves sucking his thumb, but claims that his thumb is the tastiest ever, "Pansy P. Petunia", regarding a girl who smells like flowers, and thus never needs to bathe, "Rudy Tude" which concerns the world's rudest guy, "Our Teacher Sings the Beatles", regarding a teacher who sings a bevy of popular songs, "Happy Birthday," in which the narrator gives the birthday boy or girl such very "generous" gifts as smelly gym socks, used pens, old batteries, dust balls et al.**, "When Frankenstein Was Just a Kid", telling of the time in the famous monster's younger days when he ate so many green vegetables he ended up with his signature green color, "Auntie Gravity", concerning the aunt who bakes levitating baked goods with her "Secret X" ingedient***, and "My Pig Won't Let Me Watch TV", told from the POV of a kid whose pet pig hogs the remote. If you like funny poems and you like anime, this is the book for you!
 
 
Here are a couple of my faves:

Gotta love stupid criminals. You know, one wonders if Bertie might have been one of Tubbs' ancestors...(Honestly, he missed a good bet if he wasn't!)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
*This should qualify him for Ripley's or something.
 
**The birthday boy or girl is probably thinking, in words of the ever-quotable Charlie Brown, "How can you stand being so nice to me?"
 
***Hmm, perhaps she's Professor Utonium's aunt?

Jessie drives up to a broken-down hotel; she walks up to the front desk and asks for a room.

"We only have one room left," the innkeeper informs her. "But, before I give it to you, I need to warn you that it's the room where the white-eyed ghost resides."

Jessie wasn't concerned. "I'll take the room. I'm not afraid of ghosts."

That night, as Jessie lay down to sleep, she heard an eerie voice wail, "Oooooh....I am the white-eyed ghoooooost...."

"Oh, be quiet," Jessie grumbles. "I'm trying to get some sleep."

"Oooooh....I am the white-eyed ghoooooost...." The ghost wails again.

"I said, hush! Let me sleep!"

"Oooooh....I am the white-eyed ghoooooost...."

Annoyed, Jessie grabs a vase from a nearby stand and flings it at the ghost, who then disappears. Jessie settles into bed again and closes her eyes.

Shortly thereafter, she hears the eerie voice wail, "Oooooh....I am the black-eyed ghoooooost...."
