We had to write a book report for school, so I did mine on issue 13 of The Marvelous Cliff Slade. It's my favorite one coz it's the first appearance of The Ineffable Squad. Mrs. Martinez 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 Invisible Bastard!

After school today, I went down to the corner store to buy some Savory Bobcat Knuckles and the new issue of Legendary Emil Hardy vs. the Fire Cloud, but it turned out I didn't have any money! Mom won't give me an advance on my allowance unless I tidy the toilet. Sigh.

I just got a new pet puppy! I named it Mrs. Cuddlesworth. Mom says I can keep him if I look after him and sweep him every day. She said if I get sick of him, she knows a really nice farm where he can go and live, so there's really no pressure.
