Jamie Smart has been creating children's comics for many years, with popular titles including Bunny vs Monkey, Looshkin, and Fish-Head Steve, which became the first work of its sort to be shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize. He also works on multimedia projects like Find Chaffy.
Jamie lives in the south-east of England, where he spends his time thinking up stories and getting lost on dog walks.

July 2021 Book of the Month | Jamie Smart’s exceptional, exuberant comics are an addictive riot of fun and hilarity, and perfect for reluctant readers. This is the third volume in the newly formatted, chunky, pocket-sized series. Since he crash-landed to Earth in a rocket, Monkey has been causing absolute mayhem! Bunny and the gang (Squirrel, Pig [the Pig], Action Beaver, and Skunky the Inventor) have almost had enough. Monkey’s eternal struggle for world domination is getting more ridiculous every day, and it’s impossible to predict which bizarre plan he’s going to put into action next… The pint-sized friends must face a giant robot whale, a pig cannon… oh, and the actual end of the world!
Jamie Smart’s Bunny vs Monkey adventures have been a highlight of the superb Phoenix Comic since it started, but you can now enjoy a year’s worth of stories in in this chunky-but-pocket-fitting paperback. As ever, many of the episodes pit Bunny against evil, would-be-tyrant Monkey but the arrival in their word of huuuumans brings more opportunities for chaos and explosions, e.g. in the story called The Kakapo Poo Kaboom! Smart is a comics genius and every one of these strip adventures is full of characters readers will love and packed with gleeful absurdities. No wonder the stories are so popular, there’s nothing like them and hardly anything that comes even near their levels of frenetic fun.
You might know Bunny vs Monkey from the totally brilliant Phoenix Comic. This new book brings together a collection of their comic adventures in one chunky but portable, full colour (obviously) paperback – how great is that! If you are new to the duo, Bunny lives in a peaceful forest with his nice (but dim) friends, Weenie the Squirrel and Pig. Other than the occasional run in with a bear, all is calm until the arrival of Monkey, hell-bent on world domination. (In Monkey’s defence, he was launched into space by scientists with that aim, but the mission failed and he fell back to earth just over the hill from their laboratory). He’s helped in his scheming by a skunk with its own underground laboratory and the two cause no end of trouble for Bunny. With titles like Wrestlepocalypse, Fish Off and The Whuppabaloo, these mini adventures are hugely inventive, wonderfully daft and always very, very funny. Bunny vs Monkey would tempt the most reluctant reader - you can find more books we think are suitable for Relucant Readers here.
The Phoenix Presents | Recommended by Stephen L Holland, Guest Editor, June 2021: Looshkin by Jamie Smart stars a manic blue cat terrorizing its family household, their neighbours, their elderly relatives and any odd-ball expert foolish enough to step through their doors. Utterly oblivious and determinedly in denial, Looshkin refuses to take responsibility or any notice of what you or I would call reality. You will cry with laughter. Recommend you moderate your sugar intake first.
