This collection of one-page comics interspersed with longer ones features an imaginative boy named Copper and his dog Fred. The pair's adventures, real and make-believe, are always humorous thanks in part to the comments of the very pessimistic Fred. A final section explaining the steps involved in making Copper will interest fans and aspiring comic writers and artists.
