Bought at the St. Vincent de Paul thrift store, one of 7 books for a grand total of $3. TBR From the front cover: HERMAN THE FOURTH TREASURY BY JIM UNGER From the back cover: "The low, mean wit of Jim Unger makes Herman uncommonly hilarious." -- Chicago Tribune Celebrate Herman's tenth year as a cartoon panel with Herman: The Fourth Treasury. Herman is Everyman -- he's a doctor, a waiter, a loan applicant, a duck, a Hun, even a she! He's that invariably hapless goof who wears a bow tie on his head and removable feet on his legs. Discover why Herman's creator, Jim Unger, was honored as the "Best Syndicated Panel Cartoonist" in 1982 by the National Cartoonists Society and why the three previous Treasuries have been number one on Canadian bestseller lists and prominent on B. Dalton and Walden bestseller lists. Join the millions who read Herman in more than 350 daily and Sunday newspapers in over 20 countries in wishing Herman an appropriately ridiculous happy anniversary.

Journal Entry 5 by potok-fan from Turku, Varsinais-Suomi Finland on Saturday, October 11, 2008
Thanks, nwp, for this giant Herman collection. I like Herman - I sometimes seek it out to read online (no Herman in Finnish newspapers, I'm afraid). My *favorite* strip is Arlo and Janis, but Herman comes in probably in the top 5.

"Of course it's half eaten," says the waitress. "You ordered the chef's salad!" *snicker* I've only just gotten started on this large Herman collection, and am deliberately trying to go slowly, because too much at once just makes me irritable. But another one I like shows a man looking at a bathtub on display, propped against the wall longways. "I like the color, but won't the water keep running out?" he asks the salesman. This is what strikes me about really funny people - they can imagine mistaking something that is so normal that the rest of us would never even dream of imagining the misunderstanding. Well done. For my comments on two smaller Herman collections, click here and here.
