AMEN on "Pogo." It is baffling that far, far lesser strips have gotten the hardcover reissue treatment before Kelly's masterpiece.

fantagraphics had wanted to do it considerably earlier than they did but had quite a bit of trouble finding acceptable copies of a lot of the first year's material to scan.
(even still, though, there were tons of dreadful comic strips reissues in deluxe editions even before they originally announced wanting to do a collected 'pogo' that left me scratching my head a bit.)
my only hope is that they sell better than the collected 'dennis the menace' (which only managed six or so volumes before low sales ground it to a halt.)

Perhaps a "book hangover" means somehow overindulging in literature? Maybe something like staying up all night devouring a book (rather than a bottle of whisky) and, thus, the next day is rough sailing. Also, hi!

that sounds plausible, in which case i've had a number of examples, the most recent being adam nevill's 'the ritual' which i found far too compelling a read to read as late at night as i did.
also! hi!
