Summary: Hilarious, humorus and honest...
Review: SPOONER is so real. That's the best thing I can think to say. While the funny gags and great illustrations are enough to give kids the giggles, the real humor is in the relationship between Spooner and Roxanne.

Summary: What comics should be
Review: There isn't much in the way of laughs in the funny pages these days, but when Spooner ran, that was a different story. Now, you can have the original runs PLUS strips that never made the cut past the editors!
Great stuff for newlyweds and long time married couples alike.
Do yourself a favor and read this, you'll laugh the whole way through.

Summary: Great Comic Strips on Life
Review: This book contains a reprint of his newspaper "Spooner" comic strips, his early "Spooner" work he sent in to the syndicates, and an original "Spooner" comic book story. "Spooner" is about a guy named Spooner and his lovely wife Roxanne. They are newly married and as such are getting used to 'happily ever after.'

The great thing about "Spooner" is that Ted Dawson has created characters that are easily likable. The situations he creates for Spooner and Roxanne feel very real and as such, the humor they create is very real. I'm not married, yet in reading "Spooner", I have a glimps into married life. Not only that, I can appreciate it and laugh when Spooner does dumb things. Why? Because I know I'd do something similar in the same situation.

Another nice part of "Spooner" is Ted's classic art style. Spooner is drawn with elements of Dagwood Boomstead ("Blondie") in addition to other classic artists. Yet Ted's style is still very much his own. In this, we have art that is pleasing to look at and in my book, that always helps me to want to read a comic strip.

Bottom line: whether you are newly married, engaged, single, or if you've been married a long time, Ted has written a humorous comic strip book about marriage that almost all will throughly enjoy.
