July 15, 2024 - My Favorite Comic!

My favorite comic is "Diary of a Wimpy kid".

The author is Jeff Kinney, an American online game developer and designer!
The series has been translated into 45 languages and has sold over 200 million copies worldwide.
 
The series follows Greg Heffley, a middle-schooler who illustrates his daily life in a diary.
Let’s introducing the Characters.
・Greg Heffley is a middle school student, who is the main character and narrator of the series.
He has distinctive hair and body and I find his behavior startling and incomprehensible. That's why I laugh and find it funny.

・Rowley Jefferson is Greg's good-natured best friend.

・Rodrick Heffley is Greg and Manny's older brother, who is rude, and the drummer in his band. He usually is noted for playing tricks on Greg.

・Manny Heffley is Greg and Rodrick's spoiled younger brother, who is known to be a tattletale.

・Susan Heffley is Greg's mother. She often embarrasses Greg.

・Frank Heffley is Greg's father. He always wants Greg to do sports and "to become a man” and doesn't like giving up.

My favorite episode is the one where Greg and Rowley sell lemonade together.

Greg and Rowley sold lemonade but after many failed attempts (the lemonade being too sour, too sweet, and too watery, the same cup being used for each customer, the water used for washing out the cup came from the hose and Cedric Cunningham's stand being more popular than theirs) they decided to instead just sell water to save money and make it easy for them.

This was the first time I learned about lemonade and understood that there is often an activity in the US to make and sell lemonade, but this content was quite shocking! I could not understand what they were doing...😲😲😲

However, I love this book! It makes me happy and always laugh a lot.

I found a video introduced by a Japanese publisher and I share it with you.
