Timmy Failure (book series)

Timmy Failure is a children's book series authored and illustrated by cartoonist Stephan Pastis, creator of the comic strip Pearls Before Swine. The series chronicles the life of a child detective, the eponymous Timmy Failure, who lives with his mother and is often accompanied by a pet polar bear. Pastis has described Timmy as "clueless and arrogant, though bearable given his family situation." When discussing the impact of his daily comic strip on his writing style in the book series, Pastis noted that the "forced economy" of a short comic strip caused him to realize the value of words, which helped him in crafting the stories in the series.

The books series inspired a movie based largely on the first book in the series, Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made.
