1st printing. Story and art by E.O. Plauen. Father and Son is one of the most beloved comic strips ever drawn, an uproarious, timeless ode to the pleasures, pitfalls, and endless absurdity of family life.

Drawn almost entirely without dialogue, the Father and Son strips overflow with slapstick, fantasy, and anarchic visual puns. Hardcover (Horizontal Format), 9-in.x 6-in., 312 pages, B&W.
