| A small slice of McCay's prodigious amount of work, volume six spotlights McCay's "Mr Goodenough", a six-panel strip that ran from January 1904 to March 1905, about a millionaire (Mr. Goodenough) who continuously tries to improve his life by becoming more active, the result of which inevitably leads to injury or discomfort for the hapless gentleman. Checker's goal is to gather in one series all of McCay's work other than Little Nemo, which has seen widespread reprint publication, most recently by Fantagraphics Books.
Besides the first-time-ever complete re-printings of better know fixtures in the McCay canon like Hungry Henrietta, Little Sammy Sneeze and A Pilgrim's Progress, Checker is gathering short-lived rarities from his earliest days as a newspaper illustrator at the Cincinnati Enquirer, and briefer Herald/Telegram/American experiments like Phoolish Phillip, Sister's Little Sister's Beau, Poor Jake, Mr. Goodenough and several others.
