Product Information

His “Fish-Head Steve” comic would make history when it made the shortlist for the Roald Dhl Funny Prize. Over the years, Smart has illustrated comics for the likes of “Toxic magazine,” the “Sunday Times,” “The Beano,” and “The Dandy.” If you love Graphic Novels for Kids, you won't want to miss out on any of Jamie Smart's books! A true master of comedy and illustration, and the much-loved author-illustrator behind Bunny Vs Monkey and FLEMBER! This is a great series if you love to read Evil Emperor Penguin books, Bumble and Snug books, Dog Man books or even Captain Underpants books! In “The Glowing Skull,” Dev and BOJA his best friend make a return in what is an interesting adventure in Prospertu, a mega modern and high-tech city. Looshkin appeared in the first Bear comic, in which he had unwittingly forgotten stowing Karl's previous pet dog Marmalade in a closet to protect him from evil bats in the laundry room. As a result, a few days later, Marmalade suffocated and died head-down. However Bear reminds us that Karl's home does not have a laundry room. Looshkin has also been known to have a very vivid imagination, but all of the things he says or does come from his suspected dementia. Looshkin has thought of cloning Bear with a kit that will give him an endless supply of Bear clones on which to waste his days torturing and killing. In Looshkin's words, "An endless supply of Bear fodder!" In another episode he believed a giant squid that he brought home was a tiger.

He has also regularly published his popular “Looshkin” and “Bunny vs Monkey” stories in The Phoenix comic in addition to several children’s graphic novels. Writing “Bear” was probably his most personal and exciting moment. However, his proudest work has to be when he published “Find Chaffy,” his children’s book, and when he was contracted to write the weekly “Bunny vs Monkey” for The Phoenix.These comics start out normally, until the title character starts doing something his own way and/or just uses his own imagination, and things escalate from there all the way to the end of each comic, with lots of hilarious antics! PIGS! He feels that print is akin to holding something such as a CD as opposed to flipping through several hundred songs on a smartphone or computer. He believes with print it is possible to come up with something that people can treasure for decades. The Secret Book” by James Smart is a work set on a mysterious island that is the home of “Flember,” a mystical and strange power. It is a work that will provide some happy memories and great talking points, even if there are many questions that are left unanswered.

Gwyliwch! Lle bynnag mae Looshkin y gath yn mynd, mae anrhefn yn dilyn. Yma, mae Looshkin yn drysu rhai gofodwyr, yn dychryn estroniaid ac yn rhoi antur ei fywyd i gorrach gardd. A dim ond rhan fach ydy hyn o branciau dyfeisgar y gath afreolus hon.James Smart had his first break working with comic book companies when he was contracted by SLG to pen the “Bear” comic book. It is an interesting graphic novel that many parents have asserted to be great for children between the ages of six and ten. This is a work that you can deal with your child well past bedtime and comes with plots that you can discuss with them later. Going to college allowed him to tap into the mental space so that he could better explore and put out some very innovative works. James Smart’s novel “The Crystal Caves” continues to follow DEV the Boy-Inventor and BOJA his best friend who have stumbled upon a secret map.

Jamie Smart is an internationally renowned writer, speaker, coach and consultant. He shows individuals and organizations the unexpected keys to clarity; the ultimate leverage point for creating more time, better decisions and meaningful results. On the other hand, he believes digital comics can also be rewarding as the canvas on which one can create is infinite and will only improve and evolve over time.The lead is Dev, a boy inventor who has unearthed a long-forgotten secret in the form of a huge red robot bear. Eden the little sleepy village where he lives is about to experience some disastrous chaos in what is a madcap adventure. Similar to many artists, James Smart has been doing comics ever since he was old enough to hold a pencil and has never stopped. He was very fortunate that he was born to very supportive parents who early on realized that he was fascinated with comics. He loves to say that while he went to college to study art, he only did it so that he could have an excuse to draw animals with weird eyes. James believes that the ideal world is one in which digital and print will coexist, even if they are two parts of the whole. It will make you and your kid feel sad/worried, make you laugh, and be very happy, particularly at the end of the story.

Watch out! Wherever Looshkin the cat goes, chaos follows. If you enjoy crazy chases, random animals popping up and bonkers costumes, this second Looshkin book is for you. Here, Looshkin confuses some astronauts, terrifies some aliens, becomes the head of marketing for a day (because he’s wearing a tie) and gives a garden gnome the adventure of a lifetime. This is but a fraction of the inventive antics of this irrepressible cat. Poor Bear often bears the brunt of Looshkin’s energy, along with the rest of the family, and although the events are surreal and hectic, there are lots of laughs throughout. James Smart also got inspiration from reading comics and graphic novels as a child growing up. As a child, he loved reading a wide variety of comics such as “Whizzer And Chips,” “Buster,” “Topper,” “Beano,” and “Dandy.”Bear is known to date human women, much to Karl's surprise, and he spends a good deal of his time fantasizing about being a ladies' man or a gentleman in a Jane Austen novel. The foil and victim to Looshkin's insanity, Bear is a stuffed animal standing twelve inches tall. Apparently, he has served in the British Army in a great number of wars (ex: World War I). When you poke his nose his head expands, much to his dismay and Looshkin's joy. He hopes that one day Looshkin will die so he will be able to live his life reading books and slowly becoming an alcoholic.
