Back in the 90’s I remember reading this comic. Although I don’t remember much about it. So reading through this collection was interesting, I remember the art style and some of the characters but I don’t remember much else.
I have to say even though some of the comics are dated since it’s from the 90’s, most of the jokes still held up quite well and I really laughed at several of them. It is a very decent comic and am glad I read this collection.
The characters are kinda stereotypical but that is the whole point of the comic. Norm is Normal hence his name of Norm. It’s kinda like Dilbert at times but with better artistry and not quite so job focused.
If you enjoy Dilbert and other similar daily comic strips then this is a decent one to give a try.
