| I have lots from the early 80s, and just a couple 100 strips older than that. I'd like to get more Howard the Duck & Star Wars strips. Never have figured out a good way to store them.

I have one Howard the Duck daily original, Val M art (also have several of his original pages from Fear #19), it's got Santa and a gun toting elf, but no Duck.

No I don't but I have been pondering collecting the Winnipeg Tribune comics. It will be hard to finish the run of them though.

| I've some old clipped Bloom County packed in the shed. Once in a great while I'll find something modern to clip. Last week I clipped the 3 Love Isn't strips on Zits. -A Zits version of the 1970s Love Is comic. Peace, Doe

It was better as Bloom County than as Outland.
And let us not forget Far Side.
WHY exactly do ones like those two leave us... while Rex Morgan MD and Family Circus just WILL NOT DIE?

Bloom County, Calvin & Hobbes, Far Side...all creations of fiercly independant artists...who insist on doing the majority of the work themselves...
Which means when they decide NOT to do it anymore, it's over and done. Strips like Rex Morgan MD, Prince Valiant, and others...are often done by a succession of artists and writers and continue on and on... Dennis the Menace and Peanuts...while produced primarily by one person...have so many decades of material...that you can rerun them for years and years and never run out of new readers or readers who don't remember the original time a strip was published...

How could I have not mentioned Calvin & Hobbes when I have two of the collection books?
Brilliant - JUST BRILLIANT - comic strip.
(I have a 9 year-old son... except for NOT having a pet tiger - I should have named him Calvin!)
