Max Quigley doesn't think he's a bully. He's an "observer". He observes the habits, interests and peculiarities of other people, which he then points out. A lot.

Triffin Nordstrom isn't really all that clever. He's a nerd. He reads too many fat books, makes medieval siege machines out of Lego, and probably speaks fluent Elvish.

Max and Triffin. It's a match made in hell, and it's going to get uglier than a second-hand cheesecake.

In this hilarious look at playground politics, James Roy has created the ultimate odd couple, two boys who don't see eye to eye, but have to, somehow
