Gregory II - Herman Vermin's Very Own Best-Selling & Critically Acclaimed Book with Gregory in It

Written and Illustrated by Marc Hempel

Gregory, a straight-jacketed child, is eternally trapped in a barren holding cell where he spends his time in drooling vegetation, banging his head on walls or shouting nonsensical, monosyllabic words. The only thing Gregory can communicate is his own name, which he enjoys screaming to the consternation of medical staff, therapists and asylum outsiders. Even with his lack of communication skills, Gregory manages to make friends with creatures that crawl up through his sewage drain, such as a cockroach and a pseudo-intellectual rat named Herman Vermin. Herman. Compared to Herman's self-absorbed reflections, Gregory is idyllic and carefree, demonstrating that ignorance can be bliss
