Bubby I: Wanted: A Hero like None Other

By B. P. Draper

Book 1 of 5 in the Bubby Anthology.

Robert, a social outcast all of his life, suddenly receives the powers of Bubby. In a flash, his life is completely turned around. In other words, the ladies dig him! When the world is threatened by an evil force, will the inexperienced Bubby be able to summon the strength to save it, and make it back in time for his many dates?

Review
Our introduction to the hero named Bubby is a funny, albeit short, one. Originally written in 1995, by then high school student, B. P. Draper, the jokes have aged well. While the characters are not as well-developed as I would have liked, I still empathize with the title character's desire to fit in. If I had to describe Bubby I in a sentence, I would say it is like a train wreck that you can't look away from because it is a hilarious, hilarious train wreck. Overall, Bubby I is an enjoyable satire of the superhero world. --Braden Erp

B. P. Draper

Once a pathetic and lonely nerd, B. P. Draper was in high school in 1995, when he first wrote Bubby I. Since that time he has become increasingly nerdy, though somewhat less socially awkward. He is now a happily married adult and proud father of three children. In his spare time he watches Star Wars and Tron and makes up funny bedtime stories for his children (some of which will likely be published one day soon).

About the Author

BUBBY I

Wanted: A Hero like None Other

Chapter One

Hey, geek freak, Paul called as he knocked the books out of Robert’s hands and started laughing. Everyone within view started to laugh as well. From there, a chain reaction started, and whether or not that person had seen what happened, they laughed anyway. It was a jolly sort of laughter that would lead Santa to believe he had spread joy throughout the whole world.

Paul Harris was the best looking, most popular, and strongest guy in the school. His blond hair, rugged jaw, and sweet-talking ways could charm anyone to his side. But it was Paul’s natural strength, and Robert’s natural weakness that had convinced Robert it was better to just let Paul pick on him. How easy it seemed to him though, that with one mighty swing of his fist, he could have Paul moaning on the floor. But that was mere wishful thinking. He vowed to himself over and over that he would take care of Paul, but he never had the courage to do so. He didn’t now either. The result would only be his personal embarrassment.

Robert could do nothing but return
