Thanks. Wanting to order the dream series, a bit pricey for me thru Abebooks used, but when talked about the fine print, I said never mind. Eyes too old, even w/glasses.

Hi David. Thanks; It's still on my list of possibilities.
I have a cool lens, probably from a camera, that's heavy and I can just slide across text; I used it when I edited copy when I was a reporter and copy editor. Don't know where I got it. Also have a brass crab with magnifier I can just rest on the copy. Holding a magnifying glass exhausting. Just remembered can also look thru wrong end of binoculars to magnify.
I got Krazy Kat book of the comic strip from library a while back, but gave up, because of the difficulty of reading the dialog balloons or whatever they area called.
I'm mostly interested in the art in Little Nemo.
Funny, but I'd been writing someone and said something about emoticons, and said i suppose they are now called emos, and asked, wasn't there a comic strip called Little Emo?
Well, that led me eventually to Little Nemo, which I'd probably only seen some pictures of over the years and loved the images. The library has Little Nemo in Dreamland, the birthday book. Sounds a bit jejune but I might check it out for now. If I were to splurge on the big one, i'd have to resell it, since I have a small place and large heavy books a problem.
Just having these classic books is cool. But they are big, with small versions of strips. I think having fewer strips and making them bigger would have been a better way to go.
I was having headaches on and off all weekend. It took me way too long to figure out it was caused by eye strain from reading this book.
Well, now, true. It is both amazing and difficult in that way. Chris Ware is another one, though one writing now, same thing. Buy yourself a good magnifying glass?
