Finally back in print, this is a collection of Drew Friedman’s earliest comic strips and illustrations, featuring his most obsessively stippled black-and-white panels and his most hilarious wise-guy takes on the stars and demi-stars of the swamp known as showbiz. Although the depictions within have been mistaken for mockery, a teasing adoration for his subjects can be found on every page, only a worshipful fan would lavish the many dots on the loving delineation of these greats’ every pimple and wrinkle.
