New Yorker cartoonist and bestselling author Bruce Eric Kaplan depicts the catastrophic and humorous consequences of sibling rivalry in this companion to Monsters Eat Whiny Children.

Before too long their house is destroyed. The park is leveled. The whole neighborhood…gone. Can anything repair this rift? Or will their bickering be the end of the Grand Canyon? And Texas? And the universe?

Our small South Texas town, would be the site where the last holy war began. Lucifer was free, the prophet and the law giver were here, and I was the catalyst that mankind relied on to save them.
