    Highly recommended-Five dog-barks

    Twenty-nine years ago, approximately, I loved this book. Now, with the passage of time, it's even better, and I love it more! Mr. Norman Dog possesses a rare genius; an ability to step back and look at the human condition in a very dispassionate, and ultimately weirdly unique way. No one can compare. This collection contains the old faves, such as "Hey, Stupid!" "Egghead," "Punk Romance," and "Let's All Become Artists." Yet now many of these strips work in a new way, with panels sequentially navigable by turning the "pages" on the e-reader of your choice; each panel being showcased, with the timing of the progression left to the discretion of the viewer. Where Mr. Dog deems it more appropriate, however, he also keeps strip panels in their original format, of multi panels on the page. In going through the book, I was also struck with the clever way Mr. Dog juxtaposes what could be called a re-interpreted 1950s art style (that often had a utopian aspiration to it), with a 1980s punk and new wave sense of humor (that was often very biting and cynical). It's a juxtaposition that many others have often imitated subsequently, to lesser effect. And in his newly added, also humorous, foreword, Mr. Dog gives us the historical background of how, in his case at least, he developed his style, and its social and personal context. Hats off to Mr. Dog! And at least five dog-barks of unanimous approbation!
