A wonderful reprint of a whole year of KK. It starts on Monday, December 25, 1933 and ends on Monday, December 31, 1934. A strip for each day except Sunday and they are ten and a half inches wide so it's possible to savor not only the speech but also the wacky landscape backgrounds Herriman loved to play with.
The publishers have put some thought into the production. The book is extremely landscape (almost twelve inches wide by four and a half high) and printed on a reasonable bit of newsprint and you'll get a red ribbon bookmark.
KK was one of the greatest comic strips and apart from thrown bricks, its gentle humor rewards time after time with each reading.
