![]() I can't remember the last time I read a comic strip with which I'm largely unfamiliar and not wish for the cartoonist to take his work one way or the other, hoping that they'd emphasize a certain kind of effect over other. ![]() Wright has relaxed so far into his cartooning career a decade and a half in that there's no easy match of technique and utilization: Wright basically draws whatever he feels is necessary, and if that means multiple, minutiae-filled panels simply to pad out a joke so the timing is better, so be it. The primary reason you'll want to read it is for Doug Wright's magnificently versatile thin-line art work, capable of filling space with copious detail or animating Nipper's suburban family in occasional close-up. There are a ton of things to recommend Drawn and Quarterly's tiny gem of a reprint volume, Nipper: 1963-1964.
