Newspaper comic strips never really attracted my attention. Now, if you handed me a D.C. comic about Batman or Superman; that was a different story… Those were real comics… until, when in the mid seventies, I came across a syndicated comic by some guy by the name of Jim Unger called Herman. Now here was a real newspaper comic! To this day, I still get a laugh out of reading his hundreds of single frame comics. I don’t really know what it is but his humour regarding life just seems to get me “right here.” Now I will not bore you with any more details of the author or about why I enjoy his work so much … I will just present to you some of my favourites. Enjoy!

Thanks for the laugh Dave. I remember that comic. Very funny and real.
Thanks Marie!... Your Herman comics were the first thing I read this morning... and, of course, I laughed! :-) Thank you! :-)
Josie!... If you ever want more of Herman, there are actually a number of his books out. I have one and love it!
Sunil Parmer... I remember Dilbert as well. It was one of the cartoons that always managed to bring a laugh out of dry humour.. Loved it! Please check your email regarding a previous post of yours. Cheers!
LGS You are right LGS... Maybe that is why I can related to him so much. :-)
Amy... Glad I could make you smile! :-)
Abbagirl... You are right. I think it is the realness that makes it so funny to me.
Loved this Dave! :D
Holy crap Dave! Is that a picture of you? What a hottie! :) Glad to see the man behind the pictures.
Hi Janice!... It sure provides for a few laughs doesn't it! :-)
abbagirl!...You are right! It is the Man behind the "blogger's Mask." :-)
Dave, I have switched to the new Blogger, and I think I have messed everything up on my blog... sigh.

Great reminder! I used to have full Herman books. Wonder where those went to? Hmmm! Probably lost at my parents place! Thanks for the funnies!

Hi Becky!, I used to have a few other Herman books but I lost them... Some day I will have to look for them
Sunil Parmar... I was surprised to see your comment on the owl and the pussycat as it was accidently shoved into 2006 when, in fact it was suppose to be Jan 22, 2007... :-)
Thanks for reading! Thanks for your comment!
I love Herman... and Bizarro and Real Life Adventures.
