  Creep, was an ugly cat! He was big, black, and scraggly looking: a homely lanky feline, whose only redeeming quality was his stupid pranks. Which always backfired, and the comic result would give the family a good laugh, much to that sneaker’s chagrin. This first adventure for Creep, finds him in a cozy home, living with a family of three. And there was another cat: a cute little kitten, that the sly black cat despised in the household, precisely because she was adorable, and Creep…was not.

  PREPARE TO BE BEAKED BY THE MAJESTIC EAGLE OF HISTORY 
   
    
   
  Most of us are familiar with the greatest hits and legendary heroes of US history. In George Washington Is Cash Money, Cory O'Brien, author of Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes, does away with the pomp and circumstance and calls America's history what it is: one long, violent soap opera. In his signature clever, crude, and cuss-ridden style, O'Brien reminds us that: 
   
    
    
  ● Teddy Roosevelt stopped bullets with his manly chest 
   
   
   
  ● Harriet Tubman avoided danger by having prophetic seizures. 
   
   
   
  ● Joseph Smith invented Mormonism by staring into a hat full of rocks. 
   
   
   
  ● Billy the Kid was finally defeated by the smell of fresh bacon. 
   
   
    
  And there's plenty more Star Spangled stupidity where that came from.
