That just made the drooling far more disturbing than I ever thought possible.

Best. Post. Ever.

I was just approving your ironic juxtaposition, and expressing that approval with an emoticon.

So, it's going to be by Harper Collins Books, huh? They published A Series of Unfortunate Events. You know it'll be good.

Good--a word which here means, "weird, zany, and always full of plenty of references to the uvula".

HarperCollins publishes lots of great children's books (including all of the Flat Stanley books

), but I'm sure they have published some mediocre ones as well...

It's the author (and illustrator) who will make it good.

Well, we already know the author is Weird Al, so that's a recipe for success.

Let's hope there's no CBS-style censorship or 1985-1986 Scotti Bros.-style interference.

If this really is what Al's book will be, it sounds like it will be fun. Plenty of scope for the imagination.

Yes, the same description of the book was posted here a few days ago. My neighbor, who is a writer, gets up-to-date publishing information, such as who sold a book to a publishing company. I am confident that it is a reliable source, so I'm sure that is really what the book will be about.
