When putting Doonesbury Deluxe away, I happened to pick this one off the shelf. It's a collection of comics from the late Cornerstone magazine from about 1985 to 1992. The strip features Oboe, an apartment building manager, and the people in his life. Most the characters are born-again Christians with a Baptist-flavored theology, so the book is a humorous peek into the life of folks in that sub-culture at that time. (As a Lutheran, I get most of the jokes, even if they don't always hit deep.) While many aspects of the strip have become dated, the humor and stories still work and the characters are appealing. Definitely a keeper for me.
