What are the Funniest Books?

Hello Funny One here. I just discovered the Bastarde books. Serge Bastarde Ate My Baguette: On the Road in Real Rural France and Son of Serge Bastarde: Mayhem in the Antiques Markets of Rural France. The first book, Serge Bastarde Ate My Baguette, John, who moves to France to start up as an antiques dealer, but he doesn’t count on meeting Serge Bastarde. The lovable rogue and brocanteur (secondhand goods dealer) offers to teach John the tricks of the trade in return for help in a series of corrupt schemes. As the pair travel through markets and farmhouses, they con hearty lunches from old peasants and get into scrapes with priceless collectibles. The book is filled with eccentric characters and unlikely adventures, this is a hilarious romp through the real rural France. The son of Serge Bastarde is about John’s unscrupulous yet affable partner in crime, Serge Bastarde, marries and moves to Martinique. But, like a bad penny, Serge returns, his personal life in ruins. What follows is a chaotic adventure which sees John being coerced into striking deals with the Romanian ‘mafia¡’, re-roofing a huge Basque house and getting trapped in a skip in the dead of night, while Serge rides an emotional roller coaster. Serge may be as fake as some of his antiques but, with John’s help, he eventually strikes gold in this laugh-out-loud romp. It makes me wonder if there are any other good funny books out there. I wouldn’t mind knowing. What are the funniest books? Well I love the Diary Of A Wimpy Kid series. So funny. Captain Underpants. George and Harold hypnotize their headteacher and accidentally create the greatest superhero in the history of their school — Captain Underpants! His real identity is so super secret that even HE doesn’t know who he is… but he’s fighting for truth, justice, and all things pre-shrunk and cottony!! Captain Underpants has wedgie-power on his side, and he’s coming your way! Super Diaper Baby is also super funny. A man is turned into a poo. I don’t know whats more funny than that? The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists is also a great book. It’s 1837, and the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain and his pirate crew, life on the high seas has gotten a little dull. They get bored and decide it’s time fort another adventure. A surprisingly successful boat raid leads them to the young Charles Darwin, in desperate need of their help. The pirates go to London in a bid to save the scientist from the evil machinations of an evil Bishop. I loved the movie. In the movie the Queen of England is in it instead of the evil bishop. Also another funny book is “The Twits” by Roald Dahl. Mr and Mrs Twit are extremely mean, so the Muggle-Wump monkeys and the Roly-Poly bird hatch a clever plan to give them just the horrifying surprise they deserve! J K Rowling’s new novel “The Casual Vacancy” is a dark comedy. I haven’t read it but I’ll be reading it soon. What are the funniest books? If anyone knows of any good humor books then I would love to know about them. Anyways, I thought as I’m writing about funny books I thought I would turn myself into a wimpy kid character. I also turned Andy Samberg into one too. Hehehehe!

Crumbling Cookies for the Captain

Hello, It’s me, the Funny One. I did two funny drawings for the funny newspaper, and I’ll do more tomorrow! Two are better than none. Today’s state is Ohio. That’s where Captain Underpants is from. This is the author’s website.  http://www.pilkey.com/  His books are great! Also, in Ohio there is an underwear festival, and that’s what gave me the idea for today’s picture. What is there to do in Ohio? You can go and see the Ohio Statehouse. It’s one of America’s finest examples of Greek Revival Architecture and is one of the oldest working Statehouses in the United States. There is also the Buckeye Book Fair. If you go you will have the opportunity to meet nearly 100 famous Ohio writers, illustrators and photographers. You’ll also be able to get autographed copies of their latest books at a discount. There’s also the Pump House Center For The Arts. It was built-in 1882 as the water source to fight fires for the historic city of Chillicothe, plus there’s the Huntsburg Pumpkin Festival. I love pumpkins. Visit the Concourse Gallery and see fun and interesting paintings by Lee Csuri. They’ll put a smile on your face. Go in the Three-acre Corn Maze. That could be fun, but I would probably get lost and be in there all night. Well, at least I could eat the corn. The Earth Science Week Fossil Tour is where you’ll learn all about fossils. Learn about how geoscientists gather and interpret data about the Earth and other planets. That sounds cool! http://www.earthsciweek.org./ There’s also wine tasting festivals here, too. Mmmmm wine. There’s the Annual Antique Motorcycle Exhibit. That would be so cool to go to. Visit Williams Park to see “Sculpture in the Village” and walk among sculptures which are among the trees, flowers and the lake. It’s FREE to go. I like it best when things are free. The sculptures in the park represent many of the most prominent sculptors from Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Vermont and will be on display for one year for all to enjoy.  Grand Return of the Scarecrows, when the leaves fall from the tress, the weathers changes and the harvesting of pumpkins, you know that it’s time for the Grand Return of the Scarecrows. Great Fun! If you like baking, like me, then there’s the Holiday Cookie Tour. The ticket price includes a map of the participating locations, a decorative holiday container and a gift certificate to a downtown eatery. Ticket holders will visit all the participating shops to collect homemade cookies, coupons and recipe cards to fill the containers. Mmmmmm Cookies. If you like trains, there’s the The Flag City Train Show which includes model trains, toy trains, and railroad memorabilia for sale by various dealers. After paying admission, the ticket prices are $2.00 adults and $1.00 children 12 and younger, during show hours.  The train will make a stop at the 1920s era B&O caboose for a tour inside.  Watch various toy and model train layouts as well as a display of antique Erector sets.  Explore many other displays in the railroad museum. Food service all day. That’s great! Mmmmm food service.  There is so much to do in Ohio and I can’t mention them all. I’ll leave it there for now with my fun pic!
