Cartoon Books Are Good Fun
By Philip III. Love

HON DAY never has been one
Il of my favorite comic artists,
~ yet I find myself thinking
now that the first volume Of his
collected drawings, Il Could Be
Dreaming" is the best Of this years
crop of cartoon books. It's bumper
crop, too-bigger than any I've seen
I'm previous years-and I've raked
through it no fewer than five times.
And every time but one, the conclu-
sion has been the same.
That one time I wavered briefly
between Mr.. Days crazy dream and
1t. Dave Breger's equally batty "GI
joe" collections Of drawings from
the Army newspaper, Stars and
Stripes. The wavering, I finally de-
cided. was caused by the fact that
don't like having to sort Of hiss Mr..
Days first name. Even Thmber
would lose some Of his power over
my risibilities If I had to think OF
him as Chames.

during the war years precisely
what 7'GI Joe" does for Army

One of the best cartoons in the
book actually makes you laugh
at your inability to get a T-bone
steak. And to one who hasn't come
within shifting distance of a really
good steak, T-bone or otherwise, for
months on end, that's reason enough
for thinking Days work tops.

and Alan Dunn's who's Paying for

Could Be Dreaming" are collections
of drawings previously published in

ming Post, Golfers and other maga-
zines. Also like the Chon Day
dream, they manage to make life
on the home front and elsewhere
seem much more of a laughing mat
ter than it really is, ha-ha.

placed Funny Business" roundup

contains $50 drawings, the second
more than 300 and the aforemen-
toned Chon Day is represented in
both-which ought to prove some
