Tom (the main character) wants to get tickets to see Dude3. But he's got an annoying sister who seems to keep getting him into trouble, an even more annoying student in school, and most of the teachers at school catch him doodling. All of his plans seem to get him into trouble!

Also, I enjoyed the parts where either Delia (Tom's sister) or Tom are trying to get each other into trouble. They don't seem to get along and it's pretty funny. I mostly like those parts because it's like me and my brother. Hehehe.
