by Wally Falk, introduction by Nat Gertler

Meet Hildegard and Olivia.

In the 1940s and 1950s, when a post-war America was eagerly taking to the road and rediscovering the country, these two women could be seen in the nation’s newspapers, heading off on adventures all their own. With an enthusiasm for life that was far larger than their actual driving skills, these lifelong cohorts took their converible to go camping, fishing, and touring the roads… all while getting into more than their share of tight spots.

This recurring feature from bus-driver Wally Falk’s daily cartoon panel Kickin’ Around has never before been collected. Here is the complete run of over 400 of their collision-filled, laugh-laden cartoons.
