Inspired!

As I mentioned, my kids are deeply entrenched in an Alice in Wonderland monomania. So when my sister and her boyfriend came over this weekend, Primo sat them down and put them to work, directing them each to illustrate a page of his own edition of Alice, which he put together in about 30 minutes. I had recently showed him the Axe Cop site and he decided HIS work should be up on the internet, too. So he made this book, had me transcribe his narration and forced me - not exaggerating - to scan it into the computer so I could share his work with the world. I would TOTALLY buy this book, incidentally, and not just because I'm his mother. Ok, maybe just because I'm his mother. But I love the hookah smoke being blown into vowel letters by his caterpillar and I am completely smitten with his Cheshire Cat.

We can't all write like 5 year-olds

I love Axe Cop

It is a comic written by a five year-old boy and illustrated by his 29 year-old brother. Characters are named things like "Bobber and Gobber Smartist" and "Avocado Soldier" and "Baby Man." Evil wrong-doers put poison drops on candy canes and there is amnesia caused by walking backwards into a wall.

I gotta introduce Primo to this Malachai boy. They are like soulmates.
