It wasn’t easy. While Ms Lowry was busy telling off a kid up the front for putting a face on a testicle, Russell Hinch started getting laughs from his mates by showing them what he’d drawn in his exercise book. Angus caught a glimpse and felt his face go bright red.

Sex, he thought angrily. Sex, sex, sex. It’s all we do in class these days. Why can’t we do something interesting like geography?. Fifteen funny stories, at times comic, wry, whimsical, moving, off-the-wall and downright hilarious, make up this brilliant book.Limpy, the cane toad, deeply disturbed that motorists appear to swerve their cars specifically to run toads over, is determined to put a stop to this needless loss of life. He sets out on a perilous journey to try to persuade humans that cane toads are loveable, friendly creatures. He decides to endear himself to the public by becoming a mascot for the Austr… Garth Ennis, the brilliant writer behind the show’s source material, the graphic novel series Preacher, sees Arseface a bit differently. As he bluntly put it, “To me, Arseface was always pure comic relief.” Well read by the author. This book is a bit dated - Tamagotchi plays a bit role - but still funny and relate-able. Angus is "Mr. Dependable" to his mom, dad, and (mom's former partners) number two and number three. But he worries that if his soap-star mom keeps having kids, he'll never get to have his own life. At 12, he is already raising his little brother and baby sister basically on his own. Only his alternate ego, the titular pirate Bumface, gets to act like a kid. But instead of living his dreams, Angus finds himself tasked with the care of his younger siblings and consumed with the worries of preventing his mother from having another baby.

Angus didn’t even bother looking at Russell Hinch’s face. He knew exactly what expression would be on it. As Russell stared gleefully at what was there. Stacy nodded. ‘If it doesn’t get fed, it’ll die,’ she sobbed. ‘And its battery could run out.’ Miss Lowry exploded. ‘I’ve just about had it with this class today,’ she yelled. ‘Who took Stacy’s Tamagotchi?’ She revealed that during the last moments with her husband she desperately begged him to stay with her.

Exploring the themes of responsibility, family, and the longing for independence, Bumface offers a captivating and authentic look at the realities of modern childhood.
