Description Share Post Alan, King of the Universe Book 2: Today I Will Rule All! Tom McLaughlin (Hachette) Alan, the cat with huge ambitions (he’s aiming for universal domination) and his loyal sidekick Fido are back! Alan, King of the Universe Book 2: Today I Will Rule All! sees the triumphant return of this hapless (and hilarious) duo. Every morning, their human owner bids them farewell for the day and asks that they are home for their tea. Little does she know what Alan and Fido have planned. Their plans for absolute rule are big on ambition but tiny in practicality. They also lack the necessary intelligence and rely too heavily on their dubious abilities. Tom McLaughlin’s stories are absolutely brilliantly funny – genuinely laugh out loud. In the course of the 5 chapters of this ingenious and inventive two-colour graphic novel, Alan declares himself King, and he and Fido invent a machine to shrink the universe. Meanwhile, Fido becomes a TV celebrity (leading to further disasters). Alan also attempts to recruit all the neighbourhood cats into an army which he will command – this doesn’t work either. That said, the cats are hugely impressed with Alan’s opposable thumbs. He also manages to get stuck up a tree – isn’t he just a typical cat?
