****+ (Good/Great)
DESCRIPTION: A brand-new book offers more instructions for life's everyday puzzlers, such as taking a nap, minding your manners, or making non-fans grateful for the sci-fi movies Hollywood makes today. Also included are a special run of one-panel comics produced for a newspaper's annual restaurant review special, and "Rocket Hat," the expanded story of Meyer's Commander Cody knock-off hero.
REVIEW: Another brilliant, insightful, and hilarious collection of comics. The extras were also enjoyable, though I'm just as glad the proposed "Rocket Hat" spinoff didn't go ahead; it works better the way Meyers handles the character, with occasional visits to check in on his continuing crusade against the highly incompetent Moon Men. Filling it out to a full, stand-alone story would just overstretch the premise.
