[edit] A Cheese Related Mishap
The first volume of Lookit is called 'A Cheese Related Mishap'.
Book Description from Back Cover:
Action! Adventure! Penguins! This all new concoction is just one big wad of humor. Held together by dueling narrators, this volume features Mellville the penguin and a cast of several, in a race to save exploding cheese from the vast hordes of chicken ninjas! (Well, not that vast. There’s like, 5 of them.) But wait! There’s more! Interspersed are stories of Captain Cautious, the timid super hero, and Tbyrd Fearlessness, the inept outlaw and his search for fame, glory or possibly lunch. So if you like a good old fashioned story with plenty of ice machine repair and lobster infestation, this is the book for you. -Guaranteed 100% Comedy & Mayhem
[edit] YARG
The second volume of Lookit is called 'YARG!'
Book Description from Back Cover:
19 year-old Publishing Magnate Ray Friesen presents some of the Silliest Full-Color Piratey Goodness (that’s the best kind of goodness) you’re likely to find this side of 1697. SEE the amazing cannon-less Pirate Minivan. TASTE the delicious Pirate Cookies (‘Dead Man’s Chocolate Chip’ or ‘Walk The Plank Peanut Butter’) AND… well, those are the only real senses you’ll use. If that weren’t enough, there are also plenty of Penguin Prime Ministers, Ninja Chickens, Billionaire Sheep, Ostrich Outlaws, and of course, the Mysterious KungFu-Tofu-Snafu. So what are you waiting for? This book will make you laugh your socks off on the first page! (Um, actually, that’s the copyright page. Try the second page.) And when you’re sitting there, giggling and sock-less, you’ll know you made the right choice.
