GARY BURGHOFF'S THE HOME by Gary Burghoff and Mark O'Neill
ISBN 9781629331522
Actor Gary Burghoff, best-known for his role as Corporal Walter Eugene "Radar" O'Reilly in M*A*S*H (1970), as well as the M*A*S*H television spinoff series (1972-1983), inks a new comic strip that reminds you of a newspaper daily comic . . . with a twist. The Home spins a story about a bunch of senior citizens as familiar as people you know, but they refuse to be institutionalized, and they decide to proclaim, retain, and maintain their independence by buying their own retirement home. Opposite as night and day, and often hilariously dysfunctional, no subject for conversation is off limits.
The black and white three- to four-panel comic strips are each self-contained, yet they link together to unfold a continuous tale that pokes fun at old-timer anxiety and humor.
