The plot is mostly secondary to the amusement factor (it’s pretty clear these mysteries aren’t getting solved), but there’s a nice emotional element to Timmy’s relationship with his struggling single mom, and readers will find a few moments of poignancy amidst all the laughs. Stephan Pastis is the creator of Pearls Before Swine, an acclaimed comic strip that appears in more than six hundred newspapers and boasts a devoted following. As with Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made, Pastis starts with a small-time crime. The wide-eyed figures that populate Pastis’ pen and ink illustrations have a delightfully peculiar, coiled energy, and Timmy’s pal, the perpetually hungry polar bear, is most certainly a distant relative to the voracious wombat in French’s Diary of a Wombat (BCCB 11/03), in both looks and behavior. Timmy Failure, Stephan Pastiss (Pearls Before Swine) detective of. Pastis, the creator of the comic strip Pearls Before Swine, brings a wonderfully droll and playful humor to a younger audience, balancing more straightforward gags with bits of irony and sarcasm. And what about Corinna Corinna, the beautiful dame with a knack for solving puzzles who’s Timmy’s biggest competitor-could she also be the culprit behind Timmy’s missing Segway and other efforts to “sabotage” Total Failure? If the opening scene that has Timmy crashing through a house in a stolen car with a 1,500-pound polar bear by his side doesn’t cue the reader that this is an exercise in absurdity, then they’re likely to be more clueless than Timmy. Unfortunately, Timmy is also a bit of a blockhead, and it’s not likely that the mystery will be solved anytime soon.

Timmy is an imaginative (if delusional) 11-year old who fancies. As the lead (and only, if you don’t count the polar bear) detective at the Total Failure, Inc.
