After the misstep of volume 2, On Purpose is a perfect course correction and focuses in on what makes this series shine: its advice for young writers. To that end, it’s the best volume yet. Unfortunately, I just cannot bring myself to care about the tadpoles as lead characters. Maybe it’s their dull visual design? I also didn’t really get into the newest volumes of the tadpole’s comics in here.

Aaron and I loveeed this book. His favorite comic was the “Supa Fail 3” he said the Supa Fail (superhero who literally fails at everything) tried to help everyone and that he can see his intentions were good but he wasn’t doing the right things to help others. << love Aaron’s input about the book. I’ve been having a blast reading these series with Aaron, we laughed so much together and he loves asking questions and lets me know what he thinks will happen later on in the book.

Warning: it literally says the words FULL FRONTAL NUDITY and talks about looking down your pants to see that “we are all the same.” Strange things in this one…
