Why he might be annoying:

    He is divorced.
    He shares his name with a football player.
    He said, 'I used to spend my swim team practices down by the creek, collecting tadpoles, until I got caught by my mom.'
    Some parents fear his novels will encourage young boys to become naughty, little brats.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His website Poptropica registers 10 million unique visitors each month.
    He published his first cartoon 'Igdoof' inside 'The Diamondback' (University of Maryland at College Park's school paper).
    Even though Kinney himself was not the mischievous brat depicted in the novels, the main protagonist's stories were loosely based on Kinney's own childhood memories.
    As of May 2010, more than 32 million 'Wimpy' novels have been published.
    'Time' magazine named him as one of the 100 Most Influential People of 2009.
