    When Comics Were Funny
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2005*

And not just funny--witty, colorful, inventive, slapstick, adventurous--and eagerly awaited. Here's an oversized, hardback, full-color, coffee table book chock-full and brimming with the art of the funny papers. Brian Walker, son of Mort Walker (Beetle Bailey), not only draws comics but also mounts exhibitions of them. This book includes hand-colored originals from the Museum of Cartoon Art, as well as full page Sunday layouts. From the Yellow Kid and Hogan's Alley at the turn of the century to the wartime wonders of the 'forties, this is a coffee table book you can't put down. Retailing at $50, Amazon's price is about $30--a bargain and a steal for such a beautiful volume. Also check out Walker's companion volume, The Comics: Since 1945.

    this is a most wonderful addition to any comics connoisseur's library
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2016*

Even though the gold standard is still the 'Smithsonian Collection of Newspaper Comics', this is a most wonderful addition to any comics connoisseur's library. A *must-have*, really: highly knowledgeable, tightly written, great print quality & choice of artwork. Vol. 2, The Comics: After 1945 extends the time frame even further than the Smithsonian (+ no dupes !).Highly recommended !(ps. There is a new revised edition collecting both volumes into one. Go check !)

    beware of very small font
  

*by T***A on Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2008*

I was disappointed in this book... all of the cartoons are reduced in size.  The font is impossibly small, and both the text and artwork suffer for it.  Better to have included less content so that it could be more legible.  I had to buy my dad a magnifying glass specifically to read this book.  It's a shame - they're great comics.
