For me, it summed up the insecurities of the immediate post-9/11 America, as well as speaking to the fears of my own government. For those that were afraid of George W. Bush as much as bin Laden, this comic strip is a must read. It is intelligent, funny, and perceptive... the artwork is non-distracting (redundant office drawing clip-art) and really lets the content shine through while reinforcing the idea of us all putting on a happy face while the world fell apart around us. If you find a copy, get it, read it, read it again, laugh, cry, and read it again. I was lucky enough to be alerted to the existence of this comic when its first set of strips was published online. Back then Rees seemed to be the only sane voice in the wilderness of yellow ribbon magnet patriots ("I support the troops, but not enough to feel like defacing my car with a bumper sticker!"); he managed to encapsulate in three panels what I was taking paragraphs to get out. This collection contains the first few months of the comic, which are necessarily dated as they deal with current current events, but are still very, very worth reading.

The way language was used in those days (much as it still is today), was meant to either psych us up for the coming war or psych us out that everything our government was doing was right and necessary for peace. This comic found a humorous approach to that use of language, which is what made it so great. ( )
