I really enjoyed this strip in my local paper, and was sad when it was dropped. Soooo, getting this book made me all happy inside. I like the four-panel setup and the often hilarious fourth-panel punchline. The characters are stereotypical, of course, but that's part of the charm. The ambiguously-aged boy at the center of the strip is a perfect foil for the motley group surrounding him. Recommended for anyone who is a fan of non-offensive, simple, gentle humor.
