Synopsis
by Steven Weissman
Steven Weissman's hilariously charming stories revolve around a gang of precocious children (the "Tykes") with supernatural features. In this collection of short stories, all of the Tykes take a turn in the spotlight, including Li'l Bloody, the Pullapart Boy, X-Ray Spence, and the Li'l Tin Stars. In "Yikes," Pullapart Boy and Dead Boy discover that their new next-door neighbor, "Sweet" Chubby Cheeks, is not so sweet at all - he's a "Mean" Chubby Cheeks who's got the grown-ups snowed! To make matters worse, Pullapart Boy's dad, the Professor, is dating "Sweet" Chubby's mom and is contemplating marriage! The horror! Also included are the title stories, "A Hayride with Dracula," "Jameswatch," "Back in the Day" (featuring the origin of Pullapart's undead puppy, Elzie Crisler), and more! Each story is printed in a two-color format a la Weissman's first book, the acclaimed Champs. Don't Call Me Stupid promises to amuse and horrify readers of all ages!
