A personal note: my dad loved two cartoons. The first was Warner Bros. cartoons. He and I would watch them every Saturday morning. The second was Herman. He always wound up on the comics page of the paper and read Herman first and then last. I received Herman books and collections for my birthday from dad. :-)
