I really don't collect them, but I do have two.  They are both from the forties, one is Flash Gordon,  I can't remember what the other one is.

shh.... I'm not suppose to be collecting comic books.

Not really. I've cut out a few of my favorites over the years. I save them, but don't collect them.

I used to as a child....I loved the end of the day because it was when I was allowed to cut up the newspaper and stick it in my book. I don't do this anymore.

I used to cut out strips and save them, when I was a kid. Threw most of them away. Now I save the whole comics page without reading them. Since I am doing a strip, I do not want to have anything current influence my writing, but would like to read them all, someday. I do have an original "Laredo" strip
  • Laredo (1957-1967) by Bob Schoenke
  • from the late '60's that I ended up with from the old Des Moines Register Syndicate. I wonder where all the original art is from all the strips that have been syndicated over the years. Schultz, alone, has done over 10,000 strips.w00t

    I collect collections of newspaper strips, especially old ones like the Krazy Kat, Popeye and Peanuts strips put out by Fantagraphics. There was a company in the 80's, Blackthorne or Ken Pierce that put out a collection of Smokey Stover, with an intro by Harvey Kurtzman, promising future volumes, but alas that never came to be. They also did some other strip collections, But the SS one is the one I keep going back to. Other favorites are Nostalgia Press' Volume of Secret Agent X-9 written by Dashiell Hammett and drawn by Alex Raymond, and the Barnaby books by Crockett Johnson published in the 1940's. But cutting them out of the paper never appealed to me much, because in my lifetime there haven't been that many strips I really want to revisit...at least they are not like the works of art that used to be on the comics page.

    I used to collect them as a kid/pre-teen. And I still have most of them.

    One of my friends used to work at a local newspaper and got me a HUGE stack of Syndicate proofs for a few years. Those are pretty cool! (circa mid to late 1980's)

    And I found quite a few "VINTAGE Late 1950's" strips and sunday sections up in my Great Uncle's attic YEARS "mid- 1980's" ago!

    So... I guess you could say that I HAVE A COLLECTION of Newspaper Strips , but I don't "Currently" collect any.

    I've got a dozen shoeboxes in storage that I clipped of dailies back in the mid-1970s and early 1980s...I still set the Sundays aside...

    I've got dozens of compilations on the shelf, from Ken Pierce, and Nostalgia and others...

    The nicest one's I've seen lately come from the Pacific Comic Club/Tony Raiola...
