Illustrated by
Ben Clanton.
Jasper accidentally ends up with Torpedo High Energy Drink instead of apple juice from the community center's vending machine. A several-days-long bender ensues, resulting in mischief and hilarity. "He felt so so so so Bad!" But being Bad is lots of fun. Adderson portrays Jasper's hyped-up hijinks--and guilt--with series-standard authenticity. Clanton's halftone illustrations have pep in their step, too.
