Remember how baffling, terrifying, and sad childhood really was? Now you can laugh at it.

In this thematically and narratively linked series of one-page stories originally published in the National Lampoonâ€™s â€œFunny Pagesâ€ section throughout the 1970s, the master of the macabre eschewed his usual ghouls, vampires, and end-of-the-world scenarios for a wry, pointed look at growing up normal in the real, yet endlessly weird world. This is essentially a lost Gahan Wilson graphic novel from the 1970s and '80s.

Watch as our stoic, hunting-cap-wearing protagonist (known only as â€œThe Kidâ€) copes with illness, disappointment, strange old relatives, the disappointment of Christmas, life-threatening escapades, death, school, the awfulness of camp, and much more â€• all delineated in Wilsonâ€™s roly-poly, sensual, delicately hatched line.

If you donâ€™t remember what it was like being a child, this book will bring it all backâ€¦ for good or for ill! This new hardcover edition reprints every single â€œNutsâ€ story from the Lampoon (rescuing over two dozen pages from oblivion), with a critical essay about the strip by Fantagraphics Publisher Gary Groth. Black-and-white comics with "Christmas" and "Halloween" strips in full-color
