The comic's humour is marked by whimsy, puns, parody, and a gentle, eccentric madness. However, not all strips are wholly humorous; many are intended simply to evoke a sense of beauty or wonderment at nature (especially Sunday issues, painted in watercolour and often lacking dialogue), somewhat reminiscent at times of Calvin and Hobbes. (Another favourite of mine)
It won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it makes me smile. I just wish the books where still in print.
