In this children’s book about a fart with stars in his eyes, Farnsworth the Fart loves movies and TV, so he decides he wants to become a movie or TV star. But when he tries out for talent shows and such, everyone says he stinks, he’s putrid, and tells him to blow it out his ass. Oh, but after working diligently on his comedy routine long and hard, people love it, and say he’s a gas! Then he gets a big Hollywood talent agent who tells Farnsworth: “Kid, once I put a fire under your ass, you’ll really blow up this town!”
It’s all the fart jokes you can pack into an inspirational children’s story, it’s: Farnsworth the Fart, coming soon to a bookstore near you!
(Actually it’s not. While kids may love the idea, since children love fart jokes, parents might fold their arms in disapproval. I don’t know why, though: all parents today told their share of fart jokes when they were children, and they know it!)
BTW: I just saw a segment on Red Eye with Fuller House’s Dave Coulier where he talks about his new children’s book: The Adventures of Jimmy Bugar, about a booger who wants to be in showbiz. Obviously, Farnsworth the Fart is a joke on that idea, but with a fart instead of a booger, and with success in comedy/acting instead of music as the character’s ultimate goal.
