The series
At a glance.
My Big Fat Smelly Poo Diary is a full-colour graphic novel series written and illustrated by Jim Smith. It follows Pedro, Olga and Ozzy, the Poopies, through smelly mysteries, school-age mischief and gross-out comic adventures. The series has obvious kinship with Barry Loser in its cartoon energy, but the graphic novel format makes the reading even lighter and more immediately visual. This is a highly targeted recommendation: brilliant for children who love toilet humour and need fast, visual comedy; much less useful for families who want calm, refined or non-gross humour.
Best for Dog Man, Bunny vs Monkey and Barry Loser readers who want something even more toilet-joke-led and visually quick.

Publication order is best, beginning with My Big Fat Smelly Poo Diary, but the books are comic and episodic enough to read out of order.

The Poopies' smelly comic cases
Three full-colour gross-out graphic novels about Pedro, Olga, Ozzy and their smelly mysteries.
My Big Fat Smelly Poo Diary works as one standalone comic collection rather than a complex narrative sequence. The first book introduces the Poopies and the friendship-mystery setup; Tight Squeeze and Plop of the Class continue the same formula of full-colour panels, school-age mischief, smelly mysteries and joke-first pacing. The series is low sensitivity because its conflict is silly and gross rather than emotionally or physically threatening. The main parental note is taste rather than sensitivity: it is absolutely a toilet-humour series, and that is the whole point.
