Barnaby

Crockett Johnson’s beloved comic strip Barnaby—originally a newspaper staple from the 1940s—found a new life in this 1968 Dover Publications collection. This single-volume edition gathers the whimsical adventures of a young boy and his cigar-chomping fairy godfather, Mr. O’Malley, capturing the gentle satire and charming artwork that defined Johnson’s most famous comic work. A key artifact for fans of classic American cartooning, it preserves a foundational slice of mid-century humor and imagination.
