So, what I’m going to bring up is a weirdly recurring pattern in some of the earlier books that I’m going to assume was a running gag, but even then I’m not sure. Whatever the case, I’ve noticed this ever since I was a kid, and I have seen literally no one else bring this up ever, so here goes. Maybe I’m just cornplating, but idk, I want to hear other people’s thoughts on this.

In Cabin Fever, Greg recalls his math teacher, Mr. Sparks, would stand on a chair whenever he had something important he wanted the class to remember. However, one day, one of the legs on his chair broke, and it resulted in him breaking his collarbone, and suing the school over the incident. Okay, fine, whatever. Now let’s continue…

In Hard Luck, Greg is surprised to see Aunt Martina attending the family reunion, as she hadn’t shown up prior when she became rich. Aunt Martina had been staying at a hotel, and while at the buffet, she saw a room that had more food in it. But when trying to enter the room, it turned out it wasn’t a room at all, and it was actually a full-length mirror that was reflecting the room she was in, causing her to crash into it. This resulted in Aunt Martina breaking… her collarbone, and she decided to… sue the hotel over the incident. Huh… just like Mr. Sparks.

Finally, we have Double Down. Greg counters Susan’s claim that the family has a lot of geniuses by pointing out how stupid Uncle Gary is. Uncle Gary had been cutting down a large branch hanging over his driveway while still sitting on it, and the result ended in what you’d expect. Uncle Gary got hurt, and specifically he… ended up… breaking his… collarbone… I mean, nobody got sued this time, so that’s different at least, but still…

So you can probably tell what the pattern is, and I just find it so fascinating. Was this an attempt by Jeff to make a subtle recurring gag throughout the series where a character will injure their collarbone, and depending on the situation, they’d sue over their injury? Or were all of these just coincidences? I find that hard to believe though, given just how specific it is to break one’s collarbone of all bones. Not that it’s necessarily uncommon, but in media, when a character suffers a (relatively speaking) minor injury, you always hear them talking about breaking their arm or leg, and not specifically the collarbone.

It should be noted that Double Down is currently the final instance of this running gag(?), as it has not shown up in any books since. I guess Jeff either got tired of it or forgot about it, or maybe it just was never a gag at all.

What are your thoughts on this?

My prediction is that chirag Patty Ferrell Holly hills and joshie come back.

Previously the only way to listen to the full track was a really compressed recording from Poptropica

The series has gone on for way too long. I'm 26 and I remember when Book One & Rodrick Rules came out. Roughly 2nd grade, near 3rd grade when The Last Straw came out. I think the last book I read in the series must've been Dog Days or the one after that. It's been ages, man.

My question to you guys: "Where does the series, in your opinion, end?"

Edit: I'm seeing a lot of people say it ends at "Hard Luck" for them. I'll have to pick that one up. I honestly can't recall if I read (without skimming) anything after Dog Days, so I suppose I'll finish with Hard Luck and other contenders before HL/after DD.

Wholesome part incoming! This kinda went in an interesting direction which is why the cover has a different vibe, but I really enjoyed writing this part for the positivity! This is also the first but an entirely new part being made, not just expanding on the original. I hope you enjoy this part and have a fantastic day!

Okay, I've made a costume where Greg / Greta would be wearing something that a teenager would rebel against mainstream culture. This is what Frank would fear if Greg continues to be Greta in Journal of the Frustrated Father. The only thing that I didn't change is the hair color. This is because of how Disney currently portrays the Heffley Family, as almost the entire Heffley Family had black hair (with Susan being the exception as she had dark brown hair?). Imagine if Disney decided to go on that route...
