Nearly King Jimbo Rocks!

She took her time but the Big Pink Blob has eventually got round to reading Nearly King Jimbo by acclaimed author and illustrating duo, Denise and Andy Hunt.

She didn't mean to leave it so long, but she had to finish another book first, and it was a particuarly nasty book so reading 'Jimbo' in parallel as it were, would have tarnished the experience.

Any how, today Blob sat on the sofa before she went to Cubs and finished the book. She then demonstrated a strange mixture of emotions:

  • Sad because she had finished the book (Blob is always sad when she finishes books).
  • Elated because she had found the Nearly King Jimbo experience absolutely fantastic.
  • Concerned because she is worried incase this is the first and last of many potential adventures.

The aforementioned acclaimed author with whom Blob is acquainted, suggested that she may create a yearly annual of what has gone on in her life from next year but Blob would like to be the first of potentially many fans to say, "No to annuals, and Yes to further adventures."

She is waiting to read the following for starters:

Nearly King Jimbo and the Health and Safety Inspection
Nearly King Jimbo and the Nearly Royal Wedding
Nearly King Jimbo and the missing Christmas Tree
Nearly King Jimbo and the Porn Star
and
Nearly King Jimbo and the Temple of Doom

Actually you can probably strike the last two, one of them was blatently nicked from Steven Spielberg and the other was just perverted but thats Blob for you because its getting late and she hasn't had any cake today.

Anyway, Blob wants it stated for the record that she loves Nearly King Jimbo and thinks there should be more. She is now considering sending the book to Alison, or perhaps she should just bully her into buying her own copy?

She would also like it stated that cake, as referred to in the phrase 'hasn't had any cake today' means exactly that, 'cake'.

  1. You are tooooo kind! Glad you enjoyed the Nearly King Jimbo experience though and would you care to be my publicist? And maybe put a review on Lulu???

    I did actually write a NKJ Christmas Story last year for Andy...and I do have a list of potential NKJ sequels already. Meeting a porn star is not one of them, however...
