Non Sequitur's Sunday Color Treasury Book

This is a collection of selected Sunday color comic strips.

Like the title of the strip alludes to (if you know latin) the subject of the strip can change at any time. He varies between full-on political satire, to random funnies, to related strips with a collection of characters-my favorites of those kinds are Off Shore Flo (a Maine bar, with fantastically made up fishing stories), Danae and Lucy (a cynical and bitter little girl and her horse), and Homer (a soul who keeps getting reincarnated and dying quickly because he enjoys heaven so much...and he's too dumb to stay alive).

The political satires are my least favorite. First, because I'm not politically minded enough to seek out that subject to read for enjoyment purposes, and second, because he seems to bash both parties in turn. Politics seems like an easy target, and a lot of the humor in his political comics seems like pot shots.

Other than the political comics, I enjoyed all the rest, and there were several flat-out hilarious ones. He's very creative, and each one of his related strips has enough in it to make a long running strip, so it's always sad for fans of a certain strip when he moves on to the next thing.

Also, it must be said that his coloring is amazingly inventive and gorgeous. Also, he usually does vertical comic strips, and he uses the format to his advantage. They're beautiful comics to look at, and you can tell that effort has been put into them.

As for the actual book, I feel like more comics could have easily fit. There are several pages with only 1 comic, leaving a lot of blank space. There was good variety, and covered comics throughout his entire career, I just wished there were more!
