Small Fries is a comic strip created by Mel Rivera and drawn by Gerald Haynes that follows the antics of kids Benny (and Wart his pet frog), Gerald Dean, Mijo & Percival (a.k.a. Bonus the rich kid). Consider it a modern take on classic kid comics like Peanuts and Calvin & Hobbes. Small Fries will mirror some of the authors' own antics growing up. Mel, coming from the wide-open fields of beautiful, lush green grassy meadows of the South Bronx, NYC. And Gerald grew up on the mean tough streets near Charleston, South Carolina
