This one’s a fun little mini. Great color cover featuring pictures of real-life Shrimpy and Paul dolls! (They get a great color two-pager inside, too.) Some of this stuff I’ve seen before, but I don’t mind seeing it again. As usual, Marc’s a master of putting together a fun little book, this time complementing the strips with (among other things) some letters to the editor sent to the Halifax weekly he’s published in. The letters complain about his strips not being funny. “Comics should be funny!”, one exclaims. Well, I think they’re funny – and I think that guy’s letter is funny, too. What a chump. (LR)
