Last week's Dr Fu Manchu book was REALLY GREAT, but for some reason a few of the reading group appear to have gone AWOL. An acronym which neatly brings us on to this week's book.
It is a suggestion from one of our loyal troop, and is new territory for us. It's the earliest we have gone so far. A collection of World War I cartoons drawn by P. L. Crosby. I had a flick through and they look funny and VERY interesting!! The book can be found here: https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=29046.
It's a free for all about how you tackle this. Cover to cover, or choose some to concentrate on.

I very much enjoyed this week's read. The cartoons range from humourous to tragic. Beneath are 4 which I think represent it best. I notice that Kracalactaka also mentions "The letter". Although Narfstar did not enjoy the book, he mentioned a great panel that I almost picked with walking in a rolling sea bringing back memories of drunk Saturday nights.
I have read about Percy Crosby and his sad demise, so it was nice to see some of his (albeit early) work.
Verdict: Very well crafted making it an unequivocal hit!
