1st release:
Publisher:
Length:

(got it probably at a secondhand book fair couple of years ago with the idea of whipping boys has something homoerotic--but no not in this one)

The blurb says the author was born in Brooklyn so i doubt the depiction is historically accurate, but whatever!
Jemmy is a whipping boy to a lazy, bratty prince Horace and hopes to get fired and go back to his old life as a rat catcher. But when the prince decides to run away he gets whipped--no pun intended--into going with him.

Funny enough, but i won't keep it

"Le souffre-douleur" ; comme on ne fouette pas les princes c'est un jeune bouc émissaire qui reçoit les punitions à sa place, soi-disant que ça lui fera éprouver des remords... ouais. Jusqu'à ce qu'il fugue, en étant trop bête pour se débrouiller tout seul.

hello? i got ripped up by my own brain?
i was having a Fantastic dream this morning
dreaming that i was sleeping in a room not my own when suddenly a beam of light came from a hole in the ceiling
you know how tiny holes can act as a lens? yeah
this one played tiny short movies in black and white across the bedsheets
animation was a bit choppy but every short had a different style
there was minimalist drawing
there was freaking 90ties shoujo
there was Berserk??
and so many more
but
i forgot almost every detail once i woke up
because my brain replaced them by another dream about freaking menu lists
(who cares about menus? i have a written memo in the waking world for menus and grocery lists! so i don't have to use my brain space for that! give me back the dream art!!!)

C'était rigolo ! mais je ne le garderai pas.
(et comme c'est le prénom de ma petite nièce peut-être que je le filerai à ma petite so&eulig;r pour plus tard ? mais on a le temps la gamine elle a onze mois.)

Non-sensical but funny children's book where a plucky girl finds herself facing sharks and pirates after falling in the swimming pool (and yes it makes sense).
