It’s funny…when I first saw Bone i immediately thought of Walt Kelly's Pogo…and then a little Spirit era Will Eisner…smurfs and disney ducks never occurred to me…but when you mentioned it, it all fell to into place at once. Great video.
funny you touch on Pogo, I felt the same way and mentioned it in my German version of this video... forgot to mention it here - so thanks that you did.
after uploading this video I realized that you did a whole series about "Bone" which goes way more in depth, esp. about the different english editions... highly recommended to check out these videos from that criminally modest guy above :)
I've been reading comics since the late 80s & remember when this was being serialized. I was always impressed with Jeff Smith's cartooning skills, but I've still never read the entire series for the same reasons you described. I'm much more into science fiction themes than fantasy. Interesting how well our tastes align, you being European & I being American.
by the by i’m wondering if Jeff Smith knows Valerian and laureline/mezieres or christin. Laureline and Thorn remind me of each other a gigantic amount.

What a beautiful box set.
What a lovely box set, and what a great video! Once again a terrific script, and I just settled into a zone of pure comfort.

That IS a very nice box set! I have this series in b&w but the colors in this one are quite well döne. Some night scenes get added depth for instance.
What a boxset! Very enviable.

Not sure why but I find myself enjoying fantasy way more in comic books than in other media. Scifi is the main thing for me too.
