A collection of short slice-of-life comics about various things from disappointing moments of glory to romantic failures to people who gossip about you when you take the last doughnut, and it's all mildly entertaining, if not as much fun as some of Barry's work. Some of it, sad to say, is a little difficult to read, but perhaps that's a sign of the times - cursive is not so much used these days, when we're all so much more familiar with type, and I do find it slightly irritating to decipher. Mostly, though, it's enjoyable but fairly slight, the kind of thing you can read in a daily newspaper, instantly understand, and then almost as instantly forget about. Nowhere near as enjoyable as The Greatest of Marlys, which remains my favourite of Barry's work I think.
