(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jack E. Davis & Jack E. Davis. Inspired by a late-night movie (itself reminiscent of The Picture of Dorian Gray), best friends Morty and Ray go on a bad behavior binge as they attempt to transform their self-portraits into ugly, ghoulish masterpieces. The ending is a bit of a letdown, but the frenetic, comical illustrations highlight the boys' pranks as they terrorize their classmates and break all the rules.
