WALT AND SKEEZIX mentioned by The Oregonian

Before I surrender the mike, however, here are the 10 best books I read in a rather pedestrian year. The deeper you go into the column, the more I liked them:

"Walt & Skeezix Vol. 2" (Frank King) -- It's hard to say which is more impressive, the values expressed in these 1923-24 comic strips or the production values in Drawn & Quarterly's reprint edition. "Gasoline Alley" was the rare comic strip that unfolded in real time.
