I couldn't put this book down. I read it cover to cover in one sitting. I leave it on the coffee table in the TV room (an honored place) and pick it up again and again. I enjoy a good laugh and this book is full of them. I also enjoyed his other book "Why God Makes Bald Guys". I get a big smile on my face when I read these books.

Reading this book is like breaking into Lennie Peterson's diary. You'll see yourself in this collection, I'm warning you now! I enjoyed the "Lennie-isms" throughout ... his peculiar way of spelling "stupid" ... his dork sightings ... and his ongoing banter with real life readers of the strip. Lennie Peterson is a cutting-edge original, so buy the book and send him an email. Chances are he'll fire a letter back at ya and then the games begin.

Lennie Peterson, while being an extremely talented musician, his comic strips go right for the mind, body and soul. A look at his life in a way most people don't let show through makes this book a very funny read. HIs cat is cool, his coffee habit axtreme, and his band INCREDIBLE!!! The dialogue hits a little close to home also, and that is good.

A hilarious look at Lennie Peterson, his higher self, and the millions of lives touched by his magnetic personality and charming wit. Lennie's artistic genius will weave in and out of the transom of your mind...and then blow it. "The Big Picture" is a beacon in an otherwise typical and predictable cartoon world, and Lennie Peterson's flair for finding humor in the mundane is unmatched.

Lennie's blend of wit, realism and just a touch of existentialism make this collection reminescent of the best of Larson (Far Side), Breathed (Bloom County and Waterson (Calvin & Hobbs). An irreverant look at every day life, hassles, struggles and conflicts make this the comic strip for the neurosis-driven, prozac-gulping disfunctional homosapiens of the new millenium. Heck, and it's just plain funny!

Lennie Peterson is one of the most talented comic strip writers of our time. The Big Picture: A Comic Strip Collection showcases the best of his insightful and witty comics up to the time of its publication. Lennie is a major player in the field of humorous comic strip writers. Buy the book! You will love it. It is a must have for all collectors. The Big Picture: A Comic Strip Collection is guaranteed to make you laugh. As you read the lively and colorful comics, you will wonder how Lennie manages to get to the heart of every situation that comes in contact with his artistic tools. Lennie Peterson is charismatic, and to say the least, very cute!

A great comic book...that's not over run with darkness from beyond. I laughed at every page. Anyone can relate to Lennies on going sagas, musicians, underdogs and artist this is your strip!

Lennie Peterson is an artistic genius who has masterfully blended his introspective musings with a comedic zing. It brought a whole new prospective of dealing with all our imperfections that come with the territory of being human (or feline)!!
