I’ve written about “Arnold” before. One of my favorite comic strips from the 1980s. Arnold ran from 1982 through 1988. Kevin McCormic, was the cartoonist and Arnold Melville and his friend Tommy Jordan were the main characters. Mr. Lester, their teacher, rounded out the cast. That was it. Only the three characters were shown. If there were other characters, we would only see/hear their voices, but never see the person, sort of like Charlie Brown’s teacher.
Well recently a book came out, it’s volume one of what will be three volumes featuring the strips.
Cartoonist Charles Brubaker knew how much I loved Arnold and Charles contacted me to let me know that with Kevin’s cooperation, Charles is reprinting the entire run of Arnold in the three volumes.
I had to tell Charles he was too late, I had already ordered volume one!
You can get it here at Amazon and also have a look inside there at Amazon where there’s a brief history that can get you right into the strip.
I ordered it Friday and it arrived Saturday. I can’t put it down! Aieee!
