A clueless detective and his polar bear partner tackle a hilarious mystery.

With his lazy polar bear partner, Total, Timmy embarks on a side-splitting caper filled with unexpected twists. Can this bumbling duo solve the mystery, or will their antics lead to more chaos? Dive into a world where failure is funny, and every misstep is a chance for laughter and unexpected poignancy. Join Timmy on his quest for greatness, where the stakes are high, and the laughs are endless.
“An endearingly pathetic antihero with delusions of greatness. . . . Seldom has failure been so likable – or so funny.” – The Wall Street Journal Take Timmy Failure–the clueless, comically self-confident CEO of the best detective agency in town, perhaps even the nation. Add his impressively lazy business partner, a very large polar bear named Total, and what you have is Total Failure, Inc. From the offbeat creator of Pearls Before Swine comes an endearingly bumbling hero in a hilarious caper accompanied by a whodunit twist. With perfectly paced visual humor, Stephan Pastis gets readers snorting with laughter, then slyly carries the joke a beat further–or sweetens it with an unexpected poignant moment–making this a comics-inspired story that truly stands apart from the pack.
