Gomer is a genius and a walking hazard – it is known. But often overlooked is how he’s far from the only one. In his daily efforts at subverting the professional world, he’s often accompanied by his menagerie – trickster cat, temperamental gull, voracious mouse and even, on occasion, a goldfish – and his brothers in laziness and silly ideas, Jules and Bertie. Not to mention, sometimes, complete strangers instantly won over by his eagerness and imagination. Much to the chagrin of various authority figures! 

It is very difficult when you have to describe a book that has a lot of gags and visual humour. It's easy to write that the gags are funny and make you smile. It is easy to write that the art is colourful and full of visual gags not to mention some zany scenes. But how do you describe a Gomer Goof book?

Oh wait -I just did!  Books like this are what we need at the present time and that's what comics are for -escapism. I would always recommend a dose of Gomer Goof for kids and adults.
