PS
Beaver Milo can't sleep. His would-be soporifics--reading in bed ("MAX! Wake up! My lamp is broken"), a drink of water ("SLURRRRP!"), etc.--rouse his brother, with whom he shares a bedroom. Guess who nods off first? The brothers' clashing is utterly predictable but also utterly perfect, thanks to the expert pacing and clever sight gags presented via cartoony panels.

PS
Beaver Max has a crush; brother Milo is there with advice ("You can't just give her a boring letter. You need a plan..."). Max rejects Milo's hilariously outsized ideas, and a "boring letter" ultimately works, albeit one of Milo's devising. As in Max & Milo Go to Sleep!, the Longs make odd-couple brotherly tension and clean cartoony art a winning combination.
