How did I miss this?
I recently stumbled across "Heart of the City" at my local library. After a few pages in, I fell in love with it. There are obvious tangents towards Calvin and Hobbes in the style (Heart's mom looks like a more cartoonish version of Calvin's mom), humor and comic timing as well as Baldo (Heart reminded me a lot of Baldo's younger sister both in looks and personality). It doesn't matter to me though that it has a very similar look and feel to Calvin and Hobbes because it's good in its own right.

Right at the onset, the characters are well developed with distinct personalities that are all equally lovable. I especially liked the Star Wars nut, Dean. (I also loved Heart's picking apart Episode 1, extremely accurate too!) The style is just right. It's cartoonish enough to get great exaggerated expressions on the characters and feeling much more alive than many of the rotten comic strips filling up newspapers nowadays (Zits and Fox Trot notwithstanding).

I was shocked to find this book was published in 2000 and here I am finding out about it in mid-2003. Heart of the City is such a great comic strip that I'm surprised it isn't bigger than it is. Congratulations Mark Tatulli, you've made this 26 year old guy a fan of a little girl named Heart.

Very good book with respect to a relatively new comic strip
The first time that I flipped through this book, it affirmed what
I already like about this comic strip, which is one of my favouritie comic strips out there. Heart Lamarr's daily antics always have a way of making me laugh. In fact, "Heart of the City" is usually the first comic strip that I read when I get "The Toronto Star" every day during the work week. In closing, keep up the good work Mr. Mark Tatulli; and I hope to see another "Heart of the City" comic strip book sometime in the near future.
