5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most wonderful comic strips of all time, January 20, 2000
This review is from: Barnaby (Paperback)
It is a crying shame that Barnaby is now out of print, except for the reprints in Comics Revue magazine. This is a book that deserves to be kept in print forever. Write to Dover, and urge them to reissue it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Calvin and Hobbes, March 12, 2005
By 
Gordon Eliot Reade (Palo Alto, California USA) - See all my reviews

Barnaby is Crockett Johnson's Harold from "Harold and the Purple Crayon" fame. He is very much like that more famous cartoon boy Calvin. But Barnaby has more than a stuffed tiger. He has friendships with his fairy godfather, a talking dog, a leprechaun and, oh yes, a ghost who "lives" in a near by vacant house.

Harold has a few other things that Calvin lacks. He has compassion and genuine concern for everyone he meets. He is a far kinder and more loving boy. I can't imagine why this book has been out of print for more than 50 years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Find This Book And Treasure It, June 11, 2004
This review is from: Barnaby (Paperback)
This isn't just one of the best comic strips of all time, it is one of the best books of all time. Do whatever you can to find a copy, and then treasure it for the rest of your life.
