Berkeley Breathed’s Academia Waltz and Other Profound Transgressions #[nn]

This IDW collection gathers the wit and irreverence of Berkeley Breathed under one handsome cover, bearing Breathed's own signed illustration of a loping, sneaker-clad figure being trailed by a hapless, stumbling dog — a charmingly loose sketch that captures Breathed's gift for comic motion and absurdist energy. The full title, *Academia Waltz and Other Profound Transgressions*, promises exactly the kind of gleeful mischief that made Breathed's campus-rooted comics so distinctive. For fans of sharp, character-driven cartooning, this 2015 IDW volume is a genuinely satisfying package.
