O grande cartunista e roteirista americano estreia na literatura juvenil, com uma ficção cujo herói, um menino de dez anos, sonha em tornar-se desenhista de HQ. Jimmy Jibbett tem uma coisa que conta a seu favor. Embora fraco nos esportes e não muito melhor nos estudos, sabe desenhar. E é o que ele faz, dia e noite. Histórias em quadrinhos. O sonho de Jimmy é um dia vir a ser um grande cartunista, maior até que Walt Disney. O Pai acha que Jimmy perde seu tempo. E a Mãe – bem, esta tem a cabeça sempre voando, de modo que não ajuda muito. Aí aparece Charley Beemer, o maior atleta pré-adolescente na história de Montclair, Nova Jersey, que se revela um fã de Jimmy (e do super-herói inventado por ele, Mini-Man). Quando Charley vem com a sugestão de que ele e Jimmy criem juntos, de parceria, uma nova história em quadrinhos, Jimmy acha que nada pode ser melhor do que isso na vida. A saga de Jimmy, o menino cartunista, é também a história de uma família; o pai e a mãe de Jimmy; Lisi e Susu, suas irmãs; e, talvez o mais importante de todos, Tio Lester, que escreve tentativas fracassadas de musicais para a Broadway e cujo único sonho é o mesmo de Jimmy: ser reconhecido por aquilo que é o que mais gosta de fazer. O fracasso, Jimmy fica sabendo, faz parte do caminho que leva à vitória. Título Altamente Recomendável pela Fundação Nacional do Livro Infantil e Juvenil - FNLIJ 1995, categoria tradução/jovem

In 1956, an unknown cartoonist named Jules Feiffer began drawing a weekly comic strip called Sick, Sick, Sick free of charge for a then-obscure weekly newspaper called the Village Voice. Within two years, Feiffer had become one of the most popular satirists of the period, appearing in several major newspapers in the U.S. and Great Britain, and with a best-selling book under his belt. Feiffer: The Collected Works Vol. 3 contains the first two scintillating years of this strip (later re-dubbed simply Feiffer), shot mostly from the original art. But that''s not all! This volume also includes "Boom," Feiffer''s savage take on H-bomb testing, government duplicity, and public apathy. "The Deluge" takes a modern everyman, Harvey Noah, and gives him the daunting task of warning the world of impending flood by going through proper bureaucratic channels. "Kept" is the story of a small, ugly man who discovers the awful secret of successful seduction. In "Harold Swerg," the title character is the greatest athlete in the world; he upsets the nation when he refuses to win the Olympics because there''s no challenge in it. As a special bonus this book includes "Rollie," a never-before-printed 10-page story from that period, about a bass player whose playing sends everyone who hears it into orbit. This story, which languished in Feiffer''s files for close to four decades, is a great lost treasure, and absolutely critical to any Feiffer fan!
