Commentary: Hmmmm. I'm not quite as taken with this collection as I should be, because when Titan issued it, the reproduction looked a little sharper. Still, the actual work is brilliant, funny and timeless, and this is the first collection to truly aspire to completion by including the nine pages of D.R. & Quinch's criminally short-lived advice column.
