Hot Men of Children's Literature: AUSTRALIAN EDITION!
August 15, 2007

Bafflingly, when I say "The Day My Butt Went Psycho" in a crowd, the immediate reaction from friends and family is not, "Omigod the guy who wrote those books is sooooooo hot!"  Most odd.  Perhaps this is due, in part, to the relative obscurity surrounding today's HMOCL.  Though he penned the fun "Just" series (including "Just Annoying", "Just Crazy", and "Just Kidding", amongst others) his most recent contributions can be attributed to cataloging the malicious mechanations of elusive posteriors.  The kind of stuff that makes "Captain Underpants" look positively subtle.  And, as a sidenote, he's absolutely adorable. 


Meet the newest addition to the Hot Men of Children's Literature family:


ANDY GRIFFITHS!





And for a truly eye-opening glimpse into the varieagated minds of Australian vs. British vs. American children's publishers, I direct you to the portion of Andy's site that displays covers of his books from each nation.

Indeed, American publishers appear to be afraid of showing a bat-wielding rat braining a cat on his new book. Which, by the way, I love.
