There sort of is a novel like this, Joe Meno's The Boy Detective Fails . It's more lonesome and elegaic in tone, and ultimately more hopeful, than anything I'd expect out of Lyle, but worth checking out.

Teaching at a high school, a kid called another kid a "towel." I clarified with him that this was, indeed, what he said. Upon hearing the affirmative, I gave them a look that let them know that kids these days are stupid and I never was.
Could this be towl's reasoning for the name? Is this a word The Youth are using these days, and I am so out of Touch? Or is it just a randomly chosen word, and these two aforementioned kids genuinely dumb?
There's no point in telling me that kids are stupid and lame - I teach, I know. Dude... I know.

sweet valley high: one of the twins gets alcohol poisoning, the other starts selling her body to pay for the medical bills. somewhere in there: at least one DUI and prison scene.
couldn't really think of anything good for babysitter's club. but i read those sweet valley books like a fiend when i was little.

Return to Where the Wild Things Are: An adolescent Max sails once again to visit the monsters who were once his friends and subjects. Tragically the hormonal changes brought on by puberty drive the beasts wild with hunger and he is swiftly dismembered and greedily devoured. The last lines read "...the blood ran out over earth / and in and out of stones / and through the grass / and into the pile of his very own bones / where they had made a supper of him / and it was still hot"

An interesting question raised by this strip is whether Lyle realizes this is totally inappropriate for the usual age group? See also his Harry Potter fan fiction.
In other words, is this just how Lyle's brain writes a "normal" story, or is this how he thinks it ought to be told no matter the cost?

In the spirit of things i will end my own favorite childhood book series
The janitor was late to wayside elementary, very late. He had not woke until 10:00 am. When he arrived in his white panel truck he found a terrible scene. Wayside elementary had collapsed.
"What was the city thinking putting only one classroom on every floor? What did they think would happen?" A policeman commented.
The janitor watched as rescue teams moved in, but he knew what they would find, not a single body, only rats. Dead, decaying rats.

You can always change that. Just below the green "Post a Comment" field above is where you can change how many lames it takes for a comment to be blocked.

I actually believe that he is a talented artist who deserves to be heard.
"The book starts with Joe Hardy screaming - "Get out of the way, Frank". He is running to the place where an explosion just took place. Their car had a bomb in it and it exploded.
Joe Hardy's girlfriend - Iola Morton, was in the car when the explosion took place, killing her. Joe is unable to believe it. Frank & Joe begin their investigation. They meet a person who calls himself 'Gray Man' from a government agency called 'The Network'. Frank and Joe take his help to get to the person who planted the bomb. Soon they learn that it is not a person - but a group of terrorists who call themselves 'Assassins'.
Joe vows to kill them. As the story progresses, some Assassins are killed in encounters while others escape. They come to know that the person who killed Iola is a member of The Assassins named 'Al-Rousasa'."
