Nominate your favorite kids books that you think would make an excellent funny book.

I'm gonna go with Kiki Strike.

It's about a vespa-riding girl who leads a motley group of delinquent 12 year old Girl Scouts (dishonorable discharges ) while running afoul of Chinese and Russian mobs, giant squirrels, ancient curses and everything else under New York City while trying to save the world.

Here's the wiki on Kiki...

Do you guys have any other unknown Young Adult favorites you would like to see in a monthly?

The kid's book that I would love to see as a monthly floppy is Christian Slade's Korgi. He really has a great way of telling a story that attracts kids and adults alike. Reminds me of Bone and Leave It to Chance in that anyone who picks it up can enjoy it.

-Diary Of A Wimpy Kid. This is possibly one of the funniest series I've read in a while. The protagonist Greg is someone a lot of people can relate too. Male and female alike.

NH artist Sara Richard just posted this on her Facebook page. I mean just now.

I gotta say I would be a fan.

Percy Jackson, I[ve been reading these with my son and they are not bad at all. Percy is a modern-day son of Poseidon who's powers expand as he gets older, going on quests and battling many mythological beasties along the way.

Papercutz did an unauthorized parody a year or two back.

I'm fond of Thornton Burgess' Green Meadow books. They're simple and real and could make great comics for beginning readers, which is roughly the target age of the books anyway.
