Phillip!

Now come on, isn’t that just about the best cover you’ve ever seen? It’s even better once you read the story and it’s really not even meant to be salacious. OK, it’s meant to be slightly salacious, granted. But this is the story of a boy named Phillip, who gets in trouble in third grade and doesn’t come back to the school of the narrator (presumably Shannon) until sixth grade. At that time this perennial troublemaker hasn’t had much of a change of heart of his previous ways and now he’s dealing with the onset of puberty. I don’t want to give the whole thing away, as this is only a 4 page shortie (and you’re already seeing half of it in samples) but it’s funny and only a quarter, so who can beat that?
