And if you haven't seen it, not   only are you missing out, you're also kind of a wimp.Needless to say, Jaws leaves young Paul a cowering mess, and underlines the growing gap between   him and David as well as the distance between where he stands and the world's   expectations of a boy's \\\"manliness.\\\"And when Jaws himself becomes a kind of   macho Jiminy Cricket for Paul, what is a scared and overwhelmed boy to do?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Artists \u0026amp; Writers:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePAUL GILLIGAN writes  and draws the syndicated comic strip Pooch Cafe with Andrews McMeel,  which runs in over 250 newspapers around the world and has been twice  nominated by the National Cartoonist Society for best strip.
