The Bungle Family #[nn]

Part of the Hyperion Library of Classic American Comic Strips, this handsome hardcover collects Harry J. Tuthill's 1928 strips featuring the bickering, lovably hapless Bungle Family. The cover itself sets the tone perfectly — a stout, cigar-chomping husband and his boldly dressed wife face each other in what looks like a very familiar domestic standoff. It's a wonderful opportunity to rediscover the sharp domestic comedy that made Tuthill's strip a staple of American newspaper pages.
