Everything in the World

Rating:
Summary: Not everything, but everything important
Review: This is Lynda's fourth collection of Ernie Pook's Comeek strips and covers the worlds of Endless Love, Growing Up, Relationships and Problems. As Nicole Hollander said on the back cover, "Anyone who does not laugh at Dr. Lynda J. Barry must be dead".

This book is where you will find the classic strips about Rahoolio, "Would you like to drink more of my pee, Cezer?" and "The Fun House" (later reused as a title to another strip collection).

The expected elements of uncles, Ratfink, teen parties and waiting for that phone call are all present and mostly drawn in pen (before Lynda switched to her current style using mostly brush).

Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the development of Lynda Barry as an artist (pre-Marlys / Maybonne and the gang) or for anyone who needs a good laugh, an uncomfortable squirm or both.
