and the Far Side but mostly Calvin and Hobbes.


I haven't subscribed the the shitty newspaper in my city for more than 15 years but if Sam started writing them again and that was the only place I could get it I would subscribe.


OR steal my grandpa's a day later.

The local paper here just started rerunning Calvin and Hobbes strips. Peanuts, too.

There were so many in the archives, I swear the strips I'm seeing in the daily American paper here today are ones I've never seen before.

I was a huge fan of the big 3 in the 80's (C&H, Bloom County and Far Side and bought the complete collection books at Costco when they came out. Well, Bloom County hasn't released one yet to the best of my knowledge, but I have the complete collection digitally from gocomics.com.

Happy days.

I'm looking at it on my shelf as I type, Sitting next to three of the Doonesbury anthologies.

I've had to box up our library some years ago so I can't be certain. I don't think that's a hard-bound 'compleat' collection like the other two are, though.

I forgot to mention Robotman. God, I'd love a complete collection of those. I enjoy Monty, but it's not the same.
