Book Review of Tales from Planet Sylvia

Tales from Planet Sylvia
hoopridge avatar reviewed on + 252 more book reviews


Who doesn't love Sylvia? She's a 50-something cynic who watches too much TV, smokes too much, eats too much, and has a comment for everything. Hollander's primitive drawing style is a good complement to her sharp humor. While some strips are dated (obviously '80s), Sylvia's ongoing comments to the television and her long bubble baths are timeless.

If you haven't joined Sylvia's world, come on in. The water (and the beer and chocolate) is fine!
