Lucu nggak sih? Ada orang yang hobi nolongin orang seperti Batman, tapi malah nggak disuka? Waktu si Bidin nolongin Sofyan azan di musala, orang-orang sekampung langsung berbondong-bondong katang ke musala, bukan buat salat berjamaah, tapi buat marahin Bidin yang yan gazannya nggak bener! Gitu juga waktu Bidin nolongin Mpok Ade yang mau nyebrang jalan atau pengendara motor yang motornya mogok. Yang ada, mereka bukannya dapat bantuan, malah ketiban sial. Pak RT pun mengultimatum, "Mulai hari ini Lo kagak boleh nolonginj orang-orang lagi, siapa pun dia!" Siapa pun dia? Trus, apa dong yang harus Bidin lakukan ketika mendengar suara minta tolong Pak RT dari dalam sumur, padahal nggak ada orang lain selain dia?

JAGO NGOCOL SE-INDONESIA Lahir di Jakarta, tanggal 25 Agustus, bintangnya Virgo, bo! Hilman yang turunan Jasun alias Jawa-Sunda ini punya papa tentara berpangkat kolonel. Mulai ngarang sejak ABG, dengan membuat serial Lupus di majalah HAI yang berhasil mengangat namanya. Ia juga pernah juara ngarang di majalah yang sama. Pernah kuliah di UNAS jurusan Sastra Inggris. Hilman Hariwijaya dengan Lupus-nya merupakan fenomena dalam dunia penerbitan Indonesia. Lupus#1: Tangkaplah Daku Kau Kujitak, terbit Desember 1986, cetakan pertamanya sebanyak 5.000 eksemplar habis dalam waktu kurang dari satu minggu. Hilman menulis puluhan judul yang meliputi seri Lupus, Lupus ABG, Lupus Kecil, Lupus Milenia, Olga, Lulu, Keluarga Hantu, Vanya, Vladd, Dua Pelangi dan beberapa judul lepas. Beberapa karyanya ditulis bersama Boim,Gusur dan satu bernama Zara Zettira. Tiras total penjualan bukunya mencapai jutaan eksemplar!Jumlah yang luar biasa untuk ukuran Indonesia,mengingat tiras \"normal\" buku lain rata-rata 3.000-5.000 eksemplar,dan itu pun tidak habis terjual dalam waktu satu tahun. Kisah Lupus menggambarkan gaya hidup remaja. Sarat dengan humor orisinal, terutama unik dalam gaya bahasa dan pilihan kata yang seenaknya. Tapi justru dengan gaya bahasa seperti itulah yang pernah dianggap merusak bahasa Indonesia-Lupus menjadi produk yang khas,disukai dan diakrabi para remaja. Seri Lupus sudah difilmkan, baik di layar lebar maupun dalam bentuk sinetron. Sedangkan seri Lulu, Olga, Vanya dan Vladd serta beberapa cerita lepas lainnya telah disinetronkan.
