From the publishers of the celebrated and much-awarded Little Nemo in Slumberland: So Many Splendid Sundays! deluxe oversized reprint edition, comes this lush and tasty deluxe oversized reprint edition of Frank King's beloved Walt &amp; Skeezix Sunday comics. Collected for the first time here are the best of King's early Gasoline Alley Sunday comics, starting from the very first Sunday in 1921, reprinted in the original size and colors. King's innovations in art, layout and storytelling brought a new warmth and style to the medium at the dawn of the Golden Age of newspaper comic strips. If you are interested in the development of this unique American art form, or simply love beautiful comics, this sumptuous volume is a masterpiece in comic art, and a must for your collection. Designed by Chris Ware. 16" by 21", hardbound, color. Like McCay, Feininger, Herriman, and others of that era, King was a graphic innovator. His panoramic layouts, themed styling, and whimsical cartoon conceits explored new artistic methods. But he also had a great knowledge of story and character, presented with a warmth and humanity never seen before in comics, and rarely done as well since. He went beyond the gags and slapstick of his contemporaries to create vignettes of genuinely human characters; showing them relating to each other and, particularly in his Sunday comics, to the world around them.

Meet Frank, the dry and witty life force who refuses to settle down despite his health related 'damaged goods.' After meeting on a climb with the Seattle Mountaineers, Frank knew he had found his match in Doris, whose beauty, more specifically, hard brown legs and sunny disposition spurred the interest of a lonely man searching for adventure and finding his perfect traveling companion in the process. In their mid-sixties, the two set off on adventures together from Italy to India. Sleeping everywhere from bare floors to buses, Frank describes the endearing and humorous accounts of two unconventional travelers traipsing through several different countries with no lack of love and definitely no reservations. Travels with Doris reveals the tenacity and young spirits of two older individuals complimenting each other and having unadulterated fun along the way.
