From the publisher

In this hilarious illustrated novel about the chaos of the creative process, Pam and Eliot are back–and creating comics for their local newspaper this time! But when their careers start taking them in different directions, will this dynamic duo figure out how to keep working together? When we last saw our heroes–comic-book creating heroes, that is–Eliot and Pam had just gotten the opportunity of their dreams: The Mighty Onion comic is going to be featured in The Piffling Bugle newspaper. This is the big leagues: that means every week, they’ll write and illustrate new issues of The Mighty Onion to be printed for the whole town to see. Stardom here they come! But with new opportunities come new priorities. Pam gets recruited to be the artist of one of the Bugle’s highest-profile comic strips, forcing her to juggle her time between both creative projects. With Pam too busy and Eliot feeling betrayed, the strain soon splits the two apart. Does this spell the end for the adventures of the Mighty Onion and Guinea Pig Girl…and Pam and Eliot, too? Mark Crilley dazzles with a compelling blend of journal entires, comics pages, handwritten letters, and more in this humorous and creative illustrated novel.
