Buy This Book for Your Stupid Kids

Hey. Hey! Are you tired of wishing there were fun, original, independent graphic novels you could give your stupid kids? You know, graphic novels that could teach them to appreciate something other than bending over and sniffing their own butts all day? Something like WORDS? Or FINE ART?

Of course you are.

Good news, folks. Friend of Amateur Scientist Industries (F.A.S.I.) Jason Byron Nelson has just such a graphic novel in internet stores. I know, right? It’s called Broken Dreams, and it’s about a stupid kid just like your own who breaks the very dream he intended to bring to show and tell.

Friends, I have seen this book with my own eyes. That’s just how confident I am that you’ll enjoy it. I don’t look at anything unless there’s at least a 70% chance I’ll fall in love with it. This is why most of my life is so, so lonely and dark.

GO BUY BROKEN DREAMS FOR LESS THAN IT WOULD COST TO TAKE YOUR KID TO ALVIN & THE CHIPMUNKS 4: RESQUEAKUM FOR A DREAM.

Oh, and go visit Jason’s blog. His work has graced the Sprite-filled chest of one Cee Lo Green, so you know it’s good.

Love,
Brian
