I had a blast today poking through these.
I especially liked the college strips (being an eternal student), and the ones regarding the cheapening of comic strips. The increasing number of "zombie" strips in the funny pages (Peanuts, BC, Wizard of Id, the weird hybrid FBoFW, etc.) has resulted in less funny funnies, of late.
Plus, the world just can't have enough authentic Bill Watterson.

This is awesome and you are an awesome person for telling me about it. You deserve an awesome star.
I never thought I'd see a political cartoon done by Bill Watterson (except maybe anti-syndicate ones), nor did I ever want to. Seeing them now has not made me like him any less as I thought it might, so yay. It's also interesting to see similarities between some nameless characters in these and ones that we've been so familiar with for so many years. And the college strips are just plain quality, as one would expect from Watterson.

Meant to mention this before, but forgot:
Have you ever read any of his essays on the declining quality of comics? The on in the tenth anniversary book (sitting next to me) was good, as I recall. And he was even talking about back when C&H was still active; today I can only imagine it's much worse.
And that's why you read webcomics instead.The increasing number of "zombie" strips in the funny pages (Peanuts, BC, Wizard of Id, the weird hybrid FBoFW, etc.) has resulted in less funny funnies, of late.

I have a long and ever-growing list of webcomics I read. As well as a bookmark for the Comics Curmudgeon website.
