Gabe is an ably crafted strip about a clever and mischievous boy. Gee, I'll bet you've never heard that setup for a comic strip before! Gabe is a little bit different, though, in that he's as often the butt of the mischief as he is the perpetrator; beset upon by two other boys, but managing to turn their depredations back upon them. In this, he's got a bit of that Tom and Jerry quasi-underdog feel, where he's kind of the victim, but is shown to be just as capable of cruelty as his tormentors...
