Although it’s a single panel with a single gag daily, some story arcs appear as the family travels to see family, Billy’s birthday is coming, Christmas is coming, et cetera.<\/p>\nAnd, you know what? I’m of a generation who can still appreciate the warmth and humor of the book, coming at that tail end of the middle century where although the nuclear families were disintegrating, they still dominated popular culture. So I get the tropes, even though these panels would have come out before I was born, but maybe my son would not have. Given how good of condition I found the book, it was not one that they read over and over again like some Lego titles.<\/p>\n
So a pleasant couple of minutes. And another book entry for the annual total, which was looking a little anemic before I started knocking out cartoon books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

I might as well macro this bit: I claimed this book when we culled the bookshelves in my youngest’s bedroom in January<\/a> because I’ve delved into this well–which is a spot on my bookshelves where I’ve put all the cartoon books from that gleaning–several times (book reports forthcoming) and will indubitably do so in the future (to be clear: the book reports are coming, because I need to pad my book total for the year as we are in the month numbered 6, and I’m not in the book total of 50ish).<\/p>\n
