Carl is the Wondrous Blunder. He is a cosmic mistake who is somehow the only being capable of preventing an apocalypse known as the Divine Intermission, the moment when all heavenly creators give up on their creations and take one last eternal break.
His life has not been easy.
Carl is accidentally immortal, his best friend is an annoying and otherworldly being named Chip, and his most recent vacation was to a pocket universe called The Infinite Beach, where he found himself face to face with a retired deity.
It is after parting from this immaculate tropical paradise that we rejoin Carl and his friends on their quest to fix the multiverse. With Chip having taken the form of a mammoth sea turtle, Carl sets sail on his friend's back armed with encyclopedias, fruit, and an ancient magical toaster.
The Cosmic Swing of Things hangs in the balance.
