"A satirical and shamelessly iconoclastic spoof on today's Orwellian propaganda-machine, this book, titled "'My First Imperial ABC', takes on everything from Activism to Zealotry in a humorous fashion, lampooning the dumbed-down so-called 'debate' of today's media-punditry. Camouflaged as a Children's First Book of ABC, it juxtaposes over-used, politically charged words with drawings, which the reader might well regard as anywhere from scathing to tragic/comic. So beware!"

From the Crockett Johnson homepage: "From just before the arrival of Gorgon (an episode found in Barnaby) to the visit with Rover (in Barnaby and Mr. O'Malley), this volume delivers stories from the two books published in the 1940s. But, since it reprints the original PM strips unedited, we are treated to adventures never before published in book form -such as Barnaby and Jane (and O'Malley) at Mrs. Krump's Kiddie Kamp. Also, there are some subtle textual and narrative variants: in Barnaby and Mr. O'Malley, Gus writes O'Malley's campaign biography; however, in Barnaby #2, it's foiling the "Hot Coffee Ring" that prompts O'Malley to want his biography written."

Crockett Johnson. BARNABY #3: JACKEEN J.O'MALLEY FOR CONGRESS. [SN17675] $50

NY: Del Rey/Ballantine, 1985. 1st. 16mo (6-7"), 215pp, b&w, wraps. VG+ (mild shefwear). From the Crockett Johnson homepage: "After more (mis)adventures at Mrs. Krump's Kiddie Kamp (such as Mr. O'Malley attempting to teach the children to fly), everyone returns home. Although the tale of Mr. O'Malley's run for Congress appears in Barnaby and Mr. O'Malley, the earlier book does not include what happened next. Following his election to the House of Representatives, O'Malley is appointed to the Useless Papers Committee -but he spends very little time in Washington itself. In Johnson's deft satire of the Dies Committee, O'Malley forms the "O'Malley Committee" (consisting of himself, Gus, Barnaby, and Jane) to investigate Santa Claus. After Barnaby receives a Christmas gift of boxing gloves, boxing becomes popular at the Elves, Leprechauns, Gnomes and Little Men's Chowder & Marching Society: McSnoyd out-boxes O'Malley, and then Gus gets into training to challenge McSnoyd. During and following the "boxing" episode, absentee Congressman O'Malley finally makes an appearance in Washington and helps get the dam bill passed, making him a hero to the people of his district. Though Mr. Baxter's firm benefits from the bill, he still doesn't believe that Congressman O'Malley is Barnaby's Mr. O'Malley. So, O'Malley decides to write "a scholarly, authoritative, anthropological and sociological treatise on Pixies" in order to prove his existence to Barnaby's parents."

Crockett Johnson. BARNABY #5: MR. O'MALLEY, WIZARD OF WALL STREET. [SN9225] $150

NY: Del Rey/Ballantine, 1986. 1st. 16mo (6-7"), 217pp, b&w, wraps. Fine. From the Crockett Johnson homepage: "After helping (and hindering) the investigation into the stolen furs, O'Malley decides to produce his own soap opera -the "Grand Opera Soap Opera." Unable to find a sponsor, he decides to underwrite his own show by "going into trade." Soon, O'Malley Enterprises, Inc. is the talk of Wall Street; the story of the company's rise and fall deftly satirizes the speculative nature of the stock market. Jacob "Jake" Marley (formerly a businessman and presently a ghost) visits Gus during this episode. Next, Mr. Baxter takes Barnaby, Jane, and Gorgon on a picnic; while dad sleeps, Mr. O'Malley takes them to meet Emmy Lou Schwartz, "Licensed Witchcraft Practitioner, 98,413." Although she lives in a gingerbread house, she's never read Hansel and Gretel. So, Jane loans her copy to Emmy Lou. In the last episode of the book, Barnaby's Aunt Minerva (an author) comes to stay with the Baxters. Unlike Barnaby's parents, she finds Barnaby's references to O'Malley "utterly delightful." Though she doesn't meet the elusive Fairy Godfather, he -- with the help of printer's devil Shrdlu -- places his recipie in her newspaper column."
