Hmm … well this book itself is lots of fun. It’s just what it represents for me. This is the last volume of the Bundle of Trouble series that I bought.
Probably I should have stopped before this. It had been quite a few volumes since the reprints passed the point where I had started buying the Knights of the Dinner Table comics. So I was basically buying the Bundles solely for the twenty pages or so of new material in each one, pretty much buying them because I had always been buying them. This is one of the perils of comics collecting: buying out of habit. “Well I do want a complete collection, right?”
I had an arrangement with the local comics shop to hold copies for me of all of the titles I was buying. Which was great, except that I’d been laid off, and was having trouble finding a new job. I managed to buy a few things here and there from my growing pile of holds, but things were seriously out of control. After letting it go on longer than they probably should have, the comics shop finally cut me off. No more comics would be held for me, and what was already on hold would be released to the general inventory for those who could afford to buy it.
So I quit cold turkey. I’m ultimately glad that it happened, because I was in serious denial, and would never have made the decision on my own. I still buy graphic novels and manga now and then, but my days of buying a stack of stuff every week on new comics day are over. And this Bundle of Trouble is one of the last things I ever bought.
There are some classic strips in here: “The Deck of Far Too Many Things”, “The Do-Gooders", the beginning of the Black Hands series where Pete and Stevil are forced to play low level henchmen …
Knights of the Dinner Table is a classic example of strong writing overcoming lackluster art. Yes, the strips are pretty much all static talking heads shots and the dialogue riddled with spelling errors, but the strong characters, humor, and twisty storylines more than make up for these shortcomings. Recommended!

Still funny and inventive, but I really hope there would be less violence or threat of violence between the players. That is not funny.
