This was actually a much larger book than I'd expected (and my copy appears to have been a library rebind).
This is a very good history of print cartooning in general, with an emphasis on King Features, and of the work of Walker and his friends in particular.
There is some in the book that's a bit redundant with Walker's "Private Scrapbook,' but much more that is not. Since it is not nearly as specific to his own work, it is much broader in its subject matter.
Walker and his friends are a rarity in today's world of print cartooning: a cartoonist who has not only been at it for over half a century, but whose main strip has been around for over half a century. More importantly, he is a rarity in that he is not obsessed with control over his work, and that he treats the fact that he is, along with his collaborators (including at least two of his grown children) paid a decent wage simply to draw funny pictures as a blessing, and approaches the work itself as its own best reward. His attitudes are in sharp contrast with those of many of today's hottest print cartoonists, and his lifetime of experience in the business makes him well qualified as a historian of comic art.
