Barnaby

A beloved fixture of American popular culture, Barnaby began as a daily newspaper comic strip by the legendary Crockett Johnson, creator of Harold and the Purple Crayon. This Pocket Books collection reprints the whimsical adventures of a young boy and his cigar-smoking, bumbling fairy godfather, Mr. O'Malley, whose magic never quite works as intended. Running from 1946 onward, Johnson's gentle satire and charmingly simple linework made Barnaby a cherished classic of mid-century humor and fantasy.
