The book is expensive and in places cartoon copies seem to have been made from old unclear originals. But for those of us comic-book buffs who remember the old Felix with fondness, this book is a must. It plays its part in preserving the older comic art that surely one day must be rediscovered to give pleasure to new generations of children and adults. I can testify that it gave such pleasure to my own children, who are in their early twenties.

This book is definitely a "must-have" for Felix fans. Unfortunately it is one of the very few - if not the only - collection of classic Felix newspaper strips. If only there were more books like this one!

Really, this is a wonderful book.

The artwork slowly evolves through the years and we get to witness it in order through the book. The colors (unless black and white, of course) are just amazing. The inking could have been better though.

But as copies of the original work this is one of the best books for fans of Felix or Otto Messmer (or Pat Sulliva if you prefer).

As one of the original creators of the "cartoony" look I had a great time seeing the unique (for it's time) characters and situations craeted by Messmer.

If you are reading this review let me tell you straight: Buy this book!

I think David is brilliant. A work of the late 20th century's great minds. David is a G-D-send! I love this work. I love David.
