Homer Price
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Homer Price is the title character of a pair of children's books written by Robert McCloskey in the early 1940s. Homer lives in Centerburg, a fictitious small town in Ohio. He is a mild-mannered boy who enjoys fixing radios and somehow gets involved in a series of outrageous incidents, such as tending an inexplicably unstoppable doughnut-making machine in his uncle's diner or caring for mystery plants taller than the greenhouse they're being grown in.
Another story featured an odorless, colorless, tasteless chemical called "Ever So Much More So". "Ever So Much More So" affected everything; quiet became quieter, fast became faster and so on.
