Description
Paging Doctor Bugspit! And keep that Glurb away from the toilet paper! Comical creatures star in two wildly kooky cartoon episodes, full of rotten mustard smells, cures that definitely won't work, and strenuous eyebrow exercises. Elise Gravel offers two books in one in this new Balloon Toons format.
The dubious outer space "medical" practice of Doctor Bugspit?featuring oddball patients, staff, and cases?offers the perfect prescription for curing boredom and lack-of-humor-itis inA Day in the Office of Doctor Bugspit.
Adopt a Glurb is a primer on raising the teeny, stinky, bite-y creature known as the glurb, packed with tips, information, and zany advice.
