I took them for granted until I started this blog and really looked at what I had in my collection. I also have you and others point out to me what you liked about them. As a kid I liked the annuals, Dennis Goes To Mexico, Dennis Goes to Hollywood, etc. Looking at them nowadays I'm impressed by how well done and timeless they are. Maybe someone will reprint them.<br /><br />I thought it was pretty cool that Wiseman and Toole got to travel on the boss's dime to do research. Not a bad gig.<br /><br />My grandkids live 2000 miles away so I don't get as many chances to see them as I'd like. Thanks to digital photography and e-mail my son keeps me supplied with pictures and I'm able to watch them grow up, even at a distance.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-9943048675290817152009-07-22T05:47:14.652-07:002009-07-22T05:47:14.652-07:00More Wiseman!!

In the "Dennis" story, you see that huge splash on a page with five panels and you know you're in the hands of a master. Lots and lots of little touches to love, but I have to single out the colorist's (Wiseman?) choice to add fall colors to those leaves on Pages Two, Three and Four. After all, it's "B'ar" season, ain't it?<br /><br />The "Grampa" story is great, too. Again, love Wiseman's art but Toole's writing is stellar -- "Maharaja of Jambalaya" indeed.<br /><br />Thanks again, Pappy. And congrats on your Grandpappy-hood!Tamfoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08007519945208611127noreply@blogger.com
