"Don't Call Me Stupid!" #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the complete run of the 2001 Fantagraphics series 'Don't Call Me Stupid!', a satirical comic that skewers pop culture and societal norms with sharp, irreverent humor. The volume compiles all issues of the short-lived series, featuring the work of various underground cartoonists who contributed to its offbeat, often absurdist tone.
In "Wee E.Z. and Soft Serve in 'Heat'", the Cheeks' arrival shakes up the neighborhood, turning sweet introductions into tense standoffs. When Li'l Bloody and Pullapart Boy realize "Sweet" Chubby Cheeks is no ordinary new kid—and that their families might be on a collision course—friendship takes a backseat to escalating drama. Written and illustrated entirely by Steven Weissman, this 2001 Fantagraphics issue delivers a sharp, quirky story with a distinct visual voice, all captured in a cover by Weissman that matches the tone’s offbeat charm.
In "Yikes!" from *Don't Call Me Stupid!*, the Cheeks' arrival in town throws a wrench into the lives of Li'l Bloody and Pullapart Boy, whose friendship is tested when they meet the seemingly sweet "Sweet" Chubby Cheeks—only to realize she’s their ultimate rival. Tensions spike when Pullapart Boy’s father, Professor Boy, starts dating Chubby’s mother, forcing the boys to face the unthinkable: could they end up as brothers?
In "One Day" from *Don't Call Me Stupid!*, a single summer day unfolds in the lives of a group of kids—skateboarding, sharing lunch, battling video game bosses, and coping with the itchy reality of chicken pox, all with a sharp, satirical edge. The story captures the chaotic rhythm of childhood with humor that’s both relatable and delightfully absurd.
In a future where time has folded back on itself, Cow-Girl shares the wild tale of Li'l Bloody and the Li'l Tin Stars with her granddaughters—and the ever-youthful Li'l Bloody himself—recalling the legendary escapades of the heroic Rip Van Helsing.
