Comics Review #8

"It's the Berries" is a sharp, self-aware strip from 1984 that captures the behind-the-scenes realities of comic syndication, with a wry commentary on shrinking space and rising costs. The story, lettered in typeset, appears in a format that reflects its own premise—smaller, tighter, and more economical—mirroring the shift it announces. The cover, a crisp, classic piece by Milton Caniff in both pencils and inks, perfectly complements the tone with its understated wit and period detail.
