People still discoverin’ that Hooligan!
A great rave post on Dan Nadel’s Comics Comics for Happy Hooligan followed by fun comments. Where were you guys when we published this moons ago? We might have sold more than a couple copies!
Don’t overlook that Hooligan!
Another great review on this collection our imprint Forever Nuts did: “The “Forever Nuts” book does this rarely seen comic strip proud. It’s a good read, not just for students of early comic art, but for lovers of an enjoyably rough-hewn, low-brow American brand of humor.” Pop Culture Gadabout

Happy Hooligan, Moresukine and more, reviewed…
Time Out NY says of Moresukine: “Hilarious, sharply observed” RC Harvey (his site needs token subscription) the noted historian and rant and raver says about Geary’s Lindbergh Child: “Reading one of Geary’s books is always a delight.
