I haven't checked out the CD yet, but the book is wonderful. I believe there are some Charles Addams stuff in that, since he drew for the New Yorker too.Michael J.

Charles...These are definitely two of my favourites. Charles Adams is another; very dark and witty sense of humour. If you're looking for another large book of cartoons I can thoroughly recommend 'The Complete Cartoons of the New Yorker'. It comes free with a CD archive. The quality of drawing and style in the early C20th cartoons is really inspirational.Forbes Brownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05808847048275404457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348999483862178621.post-45650696514768889622007-06-28T13:34:00.000-04:002007-06-28T13:34:00.000-04:00Hey Dave!Actually, I don't like Zits.

Very sketchy, which is what I like.<BR/><BR/>It's true, you don't need lavish art to move the story along, but it's definitely an added bonus.

True story, over at my dads appartment (he lives in the upstairs of someones house) there were a bunch of farside books lying around apparently left over by the landlords son. I spent a lot of time reading those books cover to cover.<BR/> I'm really surprised that you like Zits. To me it's just patronizing stereotypical tripe that Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
