Customer Reviews

The book that launched our adoration of Friesen's work

What a find! I cracked up at its goofiness and absurdity, including parts my sons didn't get. The boys have memorized several lines and even wrote and performed a spin-off play based on two of its characters. Thank you Ray for this fantastic book that keeps on giving! Alex, 9, says: I thought it was extremely funny. Two narrators fight to tell the story. It's so funny! When one gets hungry, he goes into the story because a character was cooking food. This book is about a kid named Raymond who visits his Uncle Clark and cousin Fidget in the country of Pellmellia. He arrives during the Cheese Festival. Eggner Von Shmoodledike, who is a professor, invented C5, which turns things into cheese. An evil scientist, who once lost to him in a dancing contest, sends his chicken ninjas to steal the C5. There's a penguin character (Melville) who says penguins aren't made for the cold. There's an intermission when Raymond reads his comics. And here's Michael, 11: Lookit! was a really humorous book. I liked how the two guys argued in the beginning about who got to narrate the story. They were bad narrators, but that made it funny. I liked when the professor showed his lame movie, "The Rivals," which won an award named after the guy who made the movie. My guess is that it's an award you'd get if you were really bad. The villain is Jarvis Van Chickenheimer. The two guys were rivals because back in kindergarten one said, "Cheese sucks." At the end of part one, the main character Raymond joins the narrators to take a break and read his comic books about Captain Cautious. At the beginning of part two, the narrators return and get off script. The bad disguises on the characters cracked me up. They were horrible - a sock pocket, the narration hat and roller skates - but they worked to fool chicken ninjas. The art style was cool, and I think others would like this book.

MY Son's Favorite COMICS!!!!

My son loves Ray's comics. We originally had to wait till family could get them for us from the West coast but are excited to see we can get them online!!! These are great fun for kids and adults.

NOW AVAILABLE OR ELSE!

Action! Adventure! Penguins! This all new concoction is just one big wad of humor. Held together by dueling narrators, this volume features Mellville the penguin and a cast of several, in a race to save exploding cheese from the vast hordes of chicken ninjas! (Well, not that vast. There's like, 5 of them.) But wait! There's more! Interspersed are stories of Captain Cautious, the timid super hero, and Tbyrd Fearlessness, the inept outlaw and his search for fame, glory or possibly lunch. So if you like a good old fashioned story about ice machine repair and lobster infestations, this is the book for you. -Guaranteed 100% Comedy & Mayhem. Thank you so much! Let me know if you need anything else. Ray
