What do you get when someone with fifteen years experience driving big Greyhound buses turns into a nationally syndicated cartoonist? You get Bus Busters, filled with cartoons by bus-driver Wally Falk showing the beleaguered drivers, the amusing and often clueless passengers, and the joy and surprises to be found traveling America’s highways. Bus Busters first and last saw print in 1954, but now it’s back, with not only all of the cartoons from the original edition, but also dozens more, selected from the run of Falk’s syndicated newspaper panel “Kickin’ Around”.
About the author: Minneapolis’s Wally Falk spent fifteen years as Greyhound bus driver followed by sixteen years behind the drawing desk, creating two gag panel series for America’s comic pages: first, “Kickin’ Around” (1945-1956) and then “The Family Car” (1956-1961). He was also the original illustrator for the daily adage feature “The Country Parson”.

Speck is the ultimate altar boy, half holy, half hellion, well-intentioned but oh, so distractible. Some of us remember dealing with him, others of us remember being him.
From the mind of Charles M. Schulz, the world’s most beloved cartoonist, comes these funny looks at the game of Bridge. The game, the culture, and the very human foibles of those who play it all come under his masterful attention, with over sixty cartoons in full color.
