Some strips are acquired tastes. I'll admit the "clip art" look of Tom Tomorrow's strips put me off at first. And at second and at third. There was something about the rubber-stamp style that put me off and the few times I forced myself to actually read an episode of This Modern World, it didn't seem worth the effort. Which just goes to show you, or even shows to go you, you shouldn't judge a comic strip by what it looks like. I guess. Whatever, the work of Mr. "Tomorrow" (actually, Perkins) has grown on me and as this new career overview volume makes me realize, the problem wasn't him. It was me. I didn't read enough to get in sync with his cynical-but-funny way of looking at the news. I now routinely visit his weblog and I'm buying all his past collections. If you're new to his world, this volume would be a good introduction. Click here to order a copy from Amazon.
