Origins Of A Wimpy Kid


Jeff Kinney, whose wildly popular Diary of a Wimpy Kid series arose out of the author’s earlier cartooning efforts, recalls his own time in grade school:

“I think that my middle school experience was more scary than Greg Heffley’s middle school experience,” Kinney said. “I felt like we went from the safe confines of the elementary school to the really scary, almost prison yard environment of middle school. So it was terrifying for me.”
