Wow, better than remembered! Off to a compelling start with Eddie Willers already a standout. Planning to finish by Labor Day, but... I read for a long time last night and covered 10 pages out of a whopping 1084. But I did it before decades ago, and what's the rush?

An intriguing cast of characters: Bear, Otter, and Broco the dwarf. Hoping to read all four Circle of Light books this summer.

Gary Peterson is on page 113 of 272 of Armageddon: What the Bible Really Says About the End
Long chapter on end-time cults strayed from book's mandate and was just filler to pad out the page length.

Gary Peterson is on page 96 of 175 of Bridget Loves Bernie
Bridget kidnapped! This book has veered far from the sitcom, though it boasts enough nods to make it fun for fans of the show. With Bernie sidelined, and Otis tailing the suspicious kidnapper, it's beginning to read like a lost Mod Squad novelization.

Fun and engaging but only a glancing blow of similarity to the sitcom. Bridget much too silly in this story; I mean, attending a protest march at the UN?

Lucy introduced on March 3, 1952. So much younger than Charlie Brown, which will be retconned later. Same for Linus. Schroeder still my least favorite character by far. Lots of great strips in these early years...

Book took a disappointingly sordid turn with the prostitute Shirley's introduction and Boxxo conscripted into being a condom-dispensing machine. Then a chapter later Boxxo becomes a slot machine for gambling. And then the public bathhouse scene...

Fun concept but author cheats by allowing Boxxo to instantly add new items and alter his display to fit any situation. The Diet Coke and Spree attack on the Frog King was clever, but wince-worthy in its execution, like Boxxo combining his verbal messages to form rudimentary sentences. Sticking with but losing my initial enthusiasm and eagerness to read the next two volumes.

We're on the Moon! Very compelling reading.

Loads of fun in these early and primitive strips. I'm going slowly, savoring each one and reading a few pages at a time. Sunday strip just started and I'm in January 1952. PS: Schroeder is the one character who's annoying more than funny. He's only a baby or maybe a toddler and just got his Beethoven bust.

I read and read... yet there's still so many pages to go! This was a packed collection. I'm enjoying to some degree most all of Bob's columns. The occasional fictionalized fabulism or maudlin dud hasn't deterred me.

Read in recent days 23 through 27. The Kan two-parter was pretty good space opera melodrama. The Dr Doom one-issue story was a bunt. And the two-part Attuma story I read tonight was a dud. Even Janet Van Dyne in a one-piece swimsuit couldn't boost this loser. The title is in its desert wandering era now...

Fun book! Closer to Hidden Dungeon than SAO or Dan Machi. I needed some lighthearted adventure. I already want to read further volumes, and when looking on eBay discovered to my delight there is a two-season anime, so add that to the list too.

A ton of fun! Just what I needed to dispel the malaise of SAO Progressive vol 1. Great to be enjoying a light novel again.

Can't believe I'm DNF'ing SAO! But "Progressive" is a misnomer as this book crawled along at a snail's pace. Give me the fast-moving main series.

Good book and not dated at all. The depth probers' effect on the 1952 and '56 elections demonstrates The Selling of the President was going on long before Joe McGinniss and the '68 election.
