I hope this is what the reboot is about.
TIL Shrek was a book?
It was! Sadly, this page is altered. The book is wild, but not this wild.
Though he does breathe fire.
Yes, and in that case I don’t even know why they bothered, since the original is just as unhinged in its own way.
Where was this book written? Does “hot knob” refer to his head or his dick? Hahah

Yeah! A good one, too.

My family has kind of an off kilter sense of humor, so this was a staple as a kid, alongside other classics like the stinky cheese man or the runaway beard.

I was pumped when I found out it was going to be a movie. Disappointed when I found out the movie had almost nothing to do with the book. And then pumped again when I realized the movie is awesome in its own right.

wait u would never read shrek in grade school??
WTH is grade school?
It’s a term referring to K-12 in the US, I think including preschool. This corresponds to school for ages ~6-18.
Never did! Maybe I’ll see about finding a copy for the kids

Shrek, you can't just marry... whatever that thing is!

Donkey, I'll marry whatever I want. God can go fuck himself.

Donkey gives no fucks about your outdated morality.
Book Shrek absolutely F U C K S
The dress of whatever that is has a cockroach patter
To be creepy and kooky, mysterious and spooky, altogether ooky.
The Adams Family!

The Adams familyd.
I meant after the A, smartass! The Adadms family.
The Adamsdafterthea Family!
God hated Shrek because he didn’t watch the movie but join the hate-train.
TdIL Shrek was based on a book.
For whoever’s curious, the actual text is “So they got hitched as soon as possible. And they lived horribly ever after, scaring the socks off all who fell afoul of them.”

Link to book PDF for those interested.

“Fat raindrops began sizzling on Shrek’s hot knob.”

Are you SURE this is the real book and not sometime crowdsourced from 4chan?

Honestly? I don’t know what to believe anymore. But it does have a publisher watermark…
Glad someone highlighted the relevant parts for me
