Thornsby by Fred Mclaren : The Complete Comic Collection - Deluxe Edition

Bys: Mary McLaren and Tom McLaren

Relive the 1970s with "Thornsby"! From creator, writer and artist Fred McLaren, "Thornsby" was a topical and humorous single-panel cartoon published in newspapers nationwide during 1973-75. The hero was a family man who longed for the nostalgic days of his 1940s youth. With his unique and quirky sense of humor, he struggled with the reality of being a middle-aged man in the 1970s. Americans faced a decade of jarring political and socioeconomic changes, including inflation, pollution, shortages, recalls, protests, women's liberation, and so much more. Thornsby, his devoted wife Blanch, and free spirit son Tune-In (with his flower child girlfriend Vibes) had to find a way to muddle through this strange new world. For the first time ever, the complete syndicated run of "Thornsby" is presented in this book as a tribute to its talented creator. Never-before-seen promotional and publicity materials are included, as well as other bonuses and surprises. A witty and entertaining look back at the 1970s. The Deluxe Edition includes a glossy dust jacket, custom flaps and high quality premium ink and paper.
