The Doonesbury Chronicles
AuthorG.B. Trudeau
ISBN0030152569
In 1975, for the first time in the history of journalism awards, the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning went to a comic strip: Garry Trudeau's nationally syndicated Doonesbury.

"It is not only the best comic strip, but the best satire that's come along in a long time."
—Art Buchwald

School is Hell
AuthorMatt Groening
ISBN0007179243
I first encountered this book when I was...oh, about 9 or 10. And, while I didn't understand all the humor contained within, I, being a school student and immersed in daily school life, could certainly "get" much of it. And the rest? Well, it went right over my sweet and innocent little pig-tailed head....
Pogo: The Complete Syndicated Comic Strips, Vol. 1: Through the Wild Blue Wonder
AuthorWalt Kelly
ISBN1560978694
Kelly sure came out swinging right from the beginning. Though there are limitations and repetition here (Albert manages to swallow or seem to swallow quite a number of other creatures, for instance), the strip's greatness is evident pretty much from the jump. The art's expressive, complex, detailed,...
Nancy Is Happy: Complete Dailies, 1943–1945
AuthorErnie Bushmiller
ISBN1606993607
A funny thing happened on the way to comic-strip immortality. For many years, Ernie Bushmiller 's Nancy, with its odd-looking, squat heroine, nearly abstract art, and often super-corny gags, was perceived as the stodgiest, squarest comic strip in the world. Popular with newspaper readers, true...
Calvin and Hobbes 1: Thereby Hangs a Tale
AuthorBill Watterson
ISBN0751505080
If you have read the first Calvin and Hobbes directory that was published in the 80's, then you have read this one.
It is a paperback version of half the first book. With classic strips.

Was inspired to read it after watching "Dear Mr. Watterson" documentary on Netflix.

The Rejection Collection: Cartoons You Never Saw, and Never Will See, in The New Yorker
AuthorMatthew Diffee
ISBN1416933395
Each week about fifty New Yorker cartoonists submit ten ideas, yielding five hundred cartoons for no more than twenty spots in the magazine. Arguably the most brilliant single-panel-gag cartoonists in the world create a bunch of cartoons every week that never see the light of day.

These rejects...

Bloom County burst onto the American comic scene in December of 1980 and it soon became one of the most popular comic strips of all time. The quirky denizens of the strip included Milo Bloom, Steve Dallas, Michael Binkley, Cutter John, Bill the Cat, and Opus the penguin, along with so many others.

Vater und Sohn, Bd. 3
AuthorErich Ohser Plauen
ISBN3473520624
Beautiful childhood moments

I read this book about 100 time when I was a little kid in Iran , Loved the pictures and humor , Today it’s still melting my heart. Thank you Erich Ohzer for your books being part of my beautiful childhood memories.
Little Nemo: 1905-1914
AuthorWinsor McCay
ISBN3822863009
Little Nemo: 1905-1914 contains every Little Nemo newspaper strip from its prime era.

I first encountered Little Nemo in a NES game about a thousand years ago. Since then, everyone from Bill Watterson to Moebius cites him as an influence. I found this on the cheap and decided to dive in.

The Complete Cartoons of The New Yorker

Pass the Loot: A FoxTrot Collection
AuthorBill Amend
ISBN0836218159
Continuing our recent fascination with all things Foxtrot, we all zipped through this early anthology of the popular comic strip by Bill Amend.

I really enjoy this comic strip, but after reading several different anthologies, the jokes are starting to feel a bit too recycled. Still, I really...
In Search of The Far Side
AuthorGary Larson
ISBN0836220609
In Search of The Far Side is even funnier than the first two, The Far Side and Beyond The Far Side. The book is a fairly quick read since there are only 100 panels. This means that it is about one-third of a year of comic strips.

Gary Larson takes us to new heights in belly-jiggling laughter as he parodies...
