I haven't read this particular volume yet, but I give it (and all the other books in this series) five stars anyway, because I already know that Herriman deserves every bit of the "genius" label that is often applied to him.

There has never been a comic strip like this; it's as close to poetry as the medium has ever been pushed. Lyrical, surreal, playful, mysterious, transcendent: If I could give this (and all the other volumes in this series) six stars, I would do so.
