No Home Boys #2: Case of the Pilfered Pegasus is a graphic novel adaptation of the fictional No Home Boys book franchise. It is first seen in the episode "On the Run" and featured on Ronaldo Fryman's blog, Keep Beach City Weird.
Steven has stated that it was a "disastrous graphic novel adaptation."
Ronaldo gave the book a C+, saying, "Some fans turned up their noses at the new adventures of the No Home Boys. The old series was a down to earth travelogue - a gritty portrayal of growing up during the Great Depression. The new series was full of magic demons, talking animals and ninjas. Sure it didn’t have the same campfire charm, but the expanded “Hoboverse” had much more character development and backstory for readers to sink their teeth into."[1]
