The long-lost comic strip masterpiece by Crockett Johnson, legendary children's book author (Harold and the Purple Crayon, The Carrot Seed), collected in full and designed by graphic novelist and Barnaby superfan Daniel Clowes (Ghost World, Wilson). Vol. 2 collects the years 1944-1945 of 5-year-old Barnaby Baxter and his Fairy Godfather J.J. O'Malley's misadventures. The cigar-chomping, bumbling con-artist and fast-talker O'Malley takes Barnaby on a trip to D.C. to serve his term in Congress. Also, Gus the Ghost and O'Malley follow the Baxters to their seaside cottage, enlisting Barnaby to join them on a treasure hunt. Plus Wall St., Ermine hunters, soap salesmen and more! Adored by all ages, Barnaby's deft balance of fantasy, timeless humor and elegant cartooning will delight even the most sophisticated reader (Chris Ware (Building Stories) loves it), much as it did in its original run, attracting fans as diverse as Dorothy Parker, Charles Schulz, W.C. Fields, Gardner Rea, Milton Caniff, Rockwell Kent and Louis Untermeyer.… (plus d'informations)
Little Barnaby Baxter continues to lead an interesting life thanks to the shenanigans of his fairy godfather, Jackeen J. O'Malley. Whether the little winged con artist and prevaricator is dabbling in politics or the world of finance or simply trying to get his favorite dish served at Thanksgiving, Mr. O'Malley is sure to fail in a most spectacularly successful way.
And this Fantagraphics edition provides plenty of supplementary analysis, history, and notes to catch you up on the bits that might go over your head when O'Malley works up a full head of loquacious steam. ( )
I love Barnaby and his ridiculous over the top schemes for simple tasks. I love a lot of the new characters that were introduced and Barnaby and Jane. I like the snark and humor of these. ( )
