Return to Planet Tad

Look out, world! Tad is back with another hilarious and highly illustrated year-in-the-blog, from Emmy® Award-winning writer Tim Carvell, and based on a column in MAD Magazine. Tad may have survived seventh grade, but his troubles are just getting started. From his first sort-of date (a disaster) to his semi-formal dance (a bigger disaster), Tad just wants to make it out of this year alive. But that’s not the only reason he keeps a blog. Tad also has a lot of important thoughts he needs to get off his chest, like: “I don’t get the phrase ‘you are what you eat.’ It seems to me like the only people that’s true for are cannibals.” From his pithy pop-culture observations to longer episodes told in his unforgettably deadpan humor, Tad is what bestselling author Tom Angleberger calls the “actually funny stand-up-comic-in-waiting that I wanted to be in middle school.” With uproarious illustrations alongside Tad’s daily blog entries, this unique format is perfect for anyone who wants a quick laugh or a long-lasting smile. But don’t take our word for it. Here’s what a few very important people had to say about the first book, Planet Tad: “Hilarious to anyone who ever went through, is currently in, might go to, or flunked out of middle school.” —Jon Stewart “This book will make you laugh. If you’re not into that sort of thing, consider yourself warned.” —Stephen Colbert
