A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Bookstore:The Toon Treasury of Classic Children's Comics

This very nifty collection of comics is enjoyable for kids and nostalgic adults alike. Included in this collection are a wide variety of comics ranging from familiar standbys(Little Lulu, Pogo, Donald Duck, Dennis the Menace, Gerald McBoingBoing, Uncle Wiggly et al.) to more obscure ones(Supermouse, Powerhouse Pepper, J. Rufus Lion, Egghead Doodle, The Pie-Faced Prince et al.)

The comics range from cute to funny to exciting to freaky weird!
Here, as per the latter example, is an excerpt from Basil Wolverton's Foolish Faces:
 ...What more can we say about this? Honestly, y'gotta love names like "Goopan Goon" and "G. Gangway Grunt".

A good, high-quality collection that's highly recommended for any classic comic collection.(It will sometimes be a little expensive, regrettably, but well worth it.)
