Book Dumb | |
| Acropolis Now / int_53136954 | comment |
Book Dumb: Jim is the leading example, progressively getting more and more dense every passing series. Memo is very blunt and stubborn which constantly leads to bad decisions and spectacular blunders. Effie is smarter than Jim and Memo combined, although that isn't saying much considering how ditzy she is. Skip doesn't often have an expression on his face other than gormless agreement. | |
