Another set of Sunday comic strips out this year is "Non Sequitur's Sunday Color Treasury." The meaning of non sequitur is, in Latin, "it does not follow". Creator Wiley Miller uses the phrase to find the humour in everything and does an award-winning job of it.
Agnes
Very self-deprecating, sassy for her young years and adorable, "Agnes", by Tony Cochran, is the star of "I Have Tampered With The Divine Plan: an Agnes Collection. With a face only a grandmother could love and a free spirit, "Agnes" makes fans smile with understanding.
Bo Nanas
His name's Nanas. Bo Nanas, that is, and it is one great comic. A kind, gentle monkey, walking and talking in the human world is bound to make for great chuckles. "Bo Nanas: Monkey Meets World" is creator John Kovaleski's first comics collection and a real treasure to add to your shelf.
For Better or For Worse
Lynn Johnston, creator of For Better or For Worse has so many collections books out now, it's hard to keep track. When her strip is completed in a couple of years, the Patterson's lives will have come full-circle. It no doubt will live a long and prosperous life through the books. "Never Wink At A Worried Woman" showcases the beloved Pattersons at the middle stages of live - aging parents, young teens at home and hot flashes all over the place.
Calvin and Hobbes
And for the most dedicated Bill Watterson fans, (and there are many) "The Complete Calvin and Hobbes" is now available. The hardcovered three-book boxed set includes every Calvin and Hobbes strip from dailies to Sundays. It is printed on glossy paper and is a necessity to have and enjoy for any addicted Calvin and Hobbes fan. I poured over it at the bookstore and found it to be a pricey but worthy tribute to the endearing little kid and his suave tiger friend. Comics collections are not only funny but also available at a good price. I need to make room for a few more on my bookshelf!
These wonderful comics collections books are available at bookstores online and at your local bookshop. Except for where indicated, the books listed are published by Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2005.
