"Such a brilliant concept . . . Darkly funny.
Very well executed. Made me laugh out loud . . ."

WHAT IS THIS?

APPROVED KNOWLEDGE FOR . . . 

Don’t let the title fool you. The “What Ever Happened to . . .” Series for the Young and Easily Influenced isn’t for kids; not yet.

​

This "children's propaganda of the future" is for you, the adult of today with the free thought left to appreciate it. Why? Because everything you make fun of is now in power, but you still hold on to those antiquated things called "hope" and "humor." And when those things fail you, and the bad guys take you away to be drilled for oil, you can hand a kid your collection as you go. "Here. This will explain it all!"

​

And when that kid asks what you did to prevent this madness, remind them that these books once raised money for ancient champions that fought for a better world. Like Godzilla vs Mothra. Or Gandhi. Kids love Gandhi. See the champions we support below.
