Funny books like the Bone series (for a 3rd/4th grade boy)

Anonymous
My 3rd grader just read the entire Bone series in the last week, and he's interested in finding more books like the series. He likes the books because they are funny.

Any suggestions?

From the graphic novel/comic stand point, he might Calvin and Hobbes.

As a kid, I enjoyed the Half Magic series:
https://www.amazon.com/Tales-Magic-Boxed-Edward-Eager/dp/0152025464/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1465612122&sr=1-2&keywords=half+magic

It's about kids who find a magic coin, but it only gives you "half" of what you wish for. They have to figure it out and go on all kinds of adventures.

The Wayside School books, if he's willing to branch out from comic books.

Has he read Diary of a Wimpy Kid series and the Captain Underpants series?

If it's Graphic Novels he wants, Astronaut Academy by Dave Roman is great. Giants Beware and Dragons Beware by Jorge Aguirre is also wonderful. He's also a big fan of Calvin and Hobbes.

For hybrid - novels with lots of pictures: My child really enjoys the Middle School series by James Patterson
