Well, this could be the first time since I started this series that I regret my choice, but I promise it's not at all for the reasons you might think. But I made a promise, a commitment, a vow -- which means that unfortunately for all of us (or maybe just me), I am being forced to revisit the so-called John Green literary masterpiece Everyone Poops in My Pants -- except this time, it has pictures!
Yes, I may in fact have suddenly found myself regretting starting the epic quest that is Vlogbrothers Rewatch -- an ongoing series where I document my journey through rewatching every Vlogbrothers video live on their YouTube channel in order, from the very beginning, using this playlist. Yes, I mean every original video -- not including the recap compilation videos that are just basically highlight reels of already existing videos. So this challenge or series or whatever you want to call it does include today's video, and maybe that's terrible for me.
Listen, John Green has written some of my favorite collections of words of all time both in book and audio/video form. And I'm sorry, but this one just doesn't compare well to all the rest. But I understand that illustrated works are and have always been quite popular, and let's be honest -- all things considered, Hank did a great job. So perhaps it's just me alone in my opinion, and that's okay.
I suppose, really, we've gotten enough book to screen adaptions of John's actual novels at this point that this one was just foreshadowing. Paving the way for what was eventually to come. Once again I ask: Does the author of this work remember crafting this narrative, and would he consider doing a live reading of it at an event sometime? I hope the answer is no.
