THE INCREDIBLY SPACED-OUT ADVENTURES OF JUPITER JACKSON

Hanging from a cliff, facing certain doom, our hero, Jupiter Jackson, grabs a few more handfuls of Sugary Sugar Flakes and jumps aboard his trusty spaceship to take on the universe's archenemy, Max Mullet. Sounding like a mash-up between 1960s Saturday-morning cartoons and fast-paced AM radio morning-drive-time humor, Eric Herman, best known for his bright and rock-and-roll infused children's songs and live performances, uses every silly sound effect and goofy commercial parody he can think of to keep his 8-10-year-old audience laughing--and thinking. As he uses a plethora of puns and pop-culture references, there's a welcome wry thoughtfulness to Herman's jump cuts and fast edits. For kids, or kids at heart.
