3.0
This book was a bizarre travel back in time for me, reminding me of the era when I would by and devour "vintage" Mad Magazines from garage sales and early-stage eBay... and when my piano teacher would let me have her old TV Guides and Reader's Digests... together, these "literary" influences allow me to enjoy the vignettes about Joe Franklin and Wayne Newton more than your average borderline millenial, I think. The stippled and collaged artwork is great to look at but (maybe because of the Mad Magazine) I expected this to be zanier than it was. The best story, for exactly this reason, was the one about Morgan Fairchild as a roommate.
markfeltskog's review against another edition
Simply hilarious, and one of my favorite comics of all time; the last copy I had was a Penguin trade paperback which fell apart almost immediately after I bought it, so I am glad to see that Fantagraphics has brought it out in a handsome hardcover edition. This is the book that asks that all-important question: "Work for Tor?" Highly recommended.
