Living in my part of the world makes finding the cartoon Hi and Lois a little difficult to find at times. However, I had to jump at the opportunity of reading this wonderfully put together collection of the Sunday Best featuring the whole Hi and Lois gang.

This book is softcover measuring 11 inches X 8.5 approx. There are a total of 128 pages and almost each page (with the exception of the first few pages which consists more of an intro to the strip) features the beautifully color drawn show more strips that we found at one time or another in the Sunday papers. Each page is numbered and while it is true that the individual creation/publication dates are not indicated, you can easily see the evolution of the drawings which made it fun for me as I like to see the development of the artist as he grows with his medium.

Also, this strip is such fun to read. It is innocent and brings me back to earlier in my life when I was a child and things always seemed so much simpler. Trixie and her love of the sunbeam - so sweet and beautiful. I also love the "thoughts" that run through her little head - always wondering, always discovering - it is heartwarming. Of course, I also love Dawg....

This strip has an innocence that touches me deeply and this collection is beautiful show less
