Poor Arnold’s Almanac

Underrated Arnold Roth’s work has graced the pages of many publications including TV Guide, Playboy and Harvey Kurtzman’s Trump and Humbug among many others. In the early 60s, Roth attempted a weekly Sunday comic strip called Poor Arnold’s Almanac. Though a bit eclectic and not terribly funny, it was marvelously delineated and clipped strips were highly sought after by collectors, at least until this collection appeared. The book collects every strip published and even a few that weren’t of this short-lived strip.
