25 years later, I pieced together something about my first fandom:

Beezus. Honey.

Your art's not in the corner of the bulletin board because it's bad ... Your last name is Quimby. It's set up alphabetically. It's not a reflection on you. Relax!

When I was 7 or so and read Beezus and Ramona for the first time…

…one of my favorite chapters was the one where Beezus gets assigned to draw an imaginary animal. She settles on Pegasus, and makes him green to be more imaginative.

Unfortunately, some kid accuses Beezus of copying the Pegasus from “a Mobilgas billboard” and making him green instead of red. She denies it.

This being the 21st century, rather than 1955 when the book was published, I didn’t know what Mobilgas was. So I read it as “moe-BILL-gus”, not the (now painfully obvious) “MOE-bull-gas”.

I’m not sure if I knew about Mobil the gas station chain yet.

Title: Beezus & Ramona

Author: Beverly Cleary

Rating: 3 out of 5

Review: Going through the series in a bout of nostalgia re-reads. Gotta say these still hold up even as an adult. I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about them, having loved them as a kid maybe I wouldn’t have loved them as an adult. But this was a fun read and a solid introduction to the characters. One of those books to read when you just want something light that’s got some humor and heart.
