We had to write a book report for school, so I did mine on issue 12 of The Mysterious Brock Slade. It's my favorite one coz it's the first appearance of The Howling Pope. Mrs. Franklin said that wasn't appropriate material for a book report and gave me a D. She's just jealous coz all the books she has to read are really boring! I bet she's never even heard of The Space Swarm!

Today Bobby Nipperus invited me over to his house after school. He's kind of a strange kid and we've never really been friends, but we've been classmates for like forever, so I went. They had this weird emerald carpet in every room, and the whole place smelled like boiled pig knuckles. I looked at his collection of lace doilies and we played a little Dead Evil 7, and then I went home. It was pretty awkward the whole time. I hope he doesn't ask me again.

I still have to feed the windows to earn my allowance, and I usually blow it on comic books and bubble gum. My favorite comic right now is Spine-Tingling Tales of Cliff Crypt -- I can't believe the stuff he gets up to every month!
