Timmy Failure is a New York Times bestselling children's book series authored and illustrated by cartoonist Stephan Pastis, creator of the comic strip Pearls Before Swine.[1] 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."[2] 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.[2] Each book is typically 30-60 chapters long, with each chapter title often being a play on words that relates in some way to pop culture (e.g., "The Answer My Friend is Blowing on My Ear").
The books series inspired a Disney+ movie (which has since been removed), which is largely based on the first book in the series, Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made.[3]
