Lunch Lady and the League of Librarians

The concept of an ordinary school staff member transforming into a hero is so charming. I wonder what sparked the author’s decision to make the lunch lady the main hero instead of a traditional superhero.

The comic timing and silly situations made me nostalgic for childhood. Am I the only one who laughed at the goofy antics and clever jokes?

The colorful, expressive illustrations really bring the characters and action to life. I wonder if the author or illustrator had specific influences or choices that shaped this lively style.
