		This is a nice collection of Shoe over the years, and really for fans of the comic strip rather than a more general audience.
		We see the early 70's Shoes, with MacNelly taking his baby steps as a stripper, the glorious 80's panels where the master truly hit his stride, his 90's output, with the characters still wonderfully out-of-place as the new millenium approaches, and the post-MacNelly Shoes, with Messers Gary Brookins, et.
		Such a "chamingly rumpled" character and the strip itself were the perfect antidote to the Eighties emphasis on consumption.

	The Comics Curmudgeon » Shoe
		Due to newspapers’ pernicious habit of intermittently cutting off the top of some Sunday strips, comic artists can never be sure that the first two panels of their weekly color installment will make it into any given paper, which means that they generally use that space for some throwaway gag.
		Of course, actual families produced the old-fashioned way abound in the comics, but still, there are a much larger number of uncle-nephew households in the comics pages and cartoons in general than there are in the real world.
		The birds of Shoe live and work in treetops, but for the most part they hate their jobs, drive unreliable cars, flunk in school, make clumsy passes in bars, and wear ill-fitting tuxedos and unfashionable glasses just like normal humans.

		"Shoe" occasionally may contain a wisp of social commentary, but it essentially is a humorous chronicle--and a tremendously time-consuming one, given its insatiable, seven-days-a-week format.
		The problem with a comic strip is that the major part of the creativity comes in creating the characters and rounding them out.
		And he had already been grousing about the artistically deadening demands of producing "Shoe" for daily publication, something he once did all on his own, without the assistants that some comic strip artists have.
