Someone else describes Dori as the 'queen' of the underground comix; I don't think I'd go there, and given R. Crumb as the 'king,' you'd have to consider Aline Kominsky, among others, as the 'queen.' Dori WAS a princess, though; AND a brilliant artist, and also a very good writer. She's definitely my favorite among the underground comix artists, male OR female. Her stories are among the best, and ARE the most entertaining, of the self-examining underground comix of the 70s. There was no subject too touchy for Dori, but she applied her keen sense of humor with a wonderfully gentle touch. Her artwork is incredible. There are few with a better command of pen and ink. This collection provides most of her work in one convenient place, and however you've gotten to this review, I know you have enough interest to appreciate the book. Buy it, you'll like it!

As stated on the back of the book, it is written for children 12-15 yrs old. Large print, 104 pages with many drawings of child-like animals and people. Not for children who are truly troubled and disturbed, young adolescents might enjoy this book for a short time. I read the whole book in about 30 minutes. It does have a positive message: You have to like yourself and project a positive image before others will like you.
