Publisher Marketing: This [series] is [a] testament to the weirdness and joy of childhood, and the eternal struggle to be yourself.-- "Publishers Weekly" Review Quotes : [ Barnaby ] radiates human warmth and whimsy . . . [T]he artist's brilliantly written characters . . . keep their feet planted in the all-too-real world of 1940s America while flying off on pink wings into one of the greatest fantasy strips ever made.--Art Spiegelman Review Quotes : Highly verbal and quietly unexpected, the strip is a clear antecedent of the sort of comic situations experienced by Calvin and Hobbes -- and the visuals predict Johnson's own Harold with his purple crayon. Cleverly absurd.-- "School Library Journal" Publisher Marketing : The long-lost comic strip masterpiece by legendary children's book author Crockett Johnson, is finally collected and designed by acclaimed graphic novelist and Barnaby superfan Daniel Clowes ( Ghost World ).
