The Adventures of Mecha-Smiles, set on the distant world of Supirion, tells the story of the titular robot and his captain, the most neurotic hero ever. Jeff Smork constantly grapples with anxiety, depression, and self-doubt, and that’s when he’s NOT defending his world from aliens and monsters. Aided by his pyrotechnic pals, Mop-Top and Me-Me, and his vexing frenemy, Causeway, Jeff (in spite of himself) repeatedly thwarts the schemes of his nemesis, the evil Baron Bloggkkx. That’s the easy part. Then he must deal with manipulative ex-girlfriends, his overbearing widowed mother’s love life, government bureaucracy, and the pressures of modern society. Can he pull it off? Only his therapist knows for sure. The Adventures of Mecha-Smiles, created when its author was in 5th grade during math class, is a part of the larger Smilocide universe. Set in an expansive world with a deep history, The Adventures of Mecha-Smiles is as much Tolkien as Dr. Seuss. Included in this volume are concept art, a glossary, and much more!

This book is absolutely brilliant!
