For those of you who got the great big two-volume set of Willie & Joe: The World War II Years by Snoopy’s pal Bill Mauldin, next year brings a treat: Willie & Joe: Back Home. This continues the reprint series with Mauldin’s work, and this volume looks at an interesting time in U.S. history. The panels featured in this 288 page book includes ones that were censored by the syndicate for touching on the hot-button issues of the day – racial segregation, McCarthyism – restored to what Mauldin intended to say.
Meanwhile, for today’s today-only good deal: the complete run of the finest dysfunctional family sitcom, Arrested Development, for $29 bucks — about what you’d pay for a single season (out of three) most days. (And let me make clear, though it’s a “dysfunctional family sitcom” it’s not what I’d call a “family sitcom” – it’s not for those who are easily offended… including those who are offended by off-color Peanuts references.)
