It's weird to think stuff like this used to be in the funny pages

Too bad Calvin and Hobbes isn't still around. There are still some funny strips, but graphically interesting ones are few and far between.

4. Yeah, seriously

I've got a book called "Charlie Brown and Charlie Schulz" which is mostly about "Peanuts" but also has a chapter on the history of the comics. It has some of the great old strips, but that's the first time I've seen a colorized Yellow Kid.

6. that is considered one of the greatest if not the greatest strips ever

the little kid goes into a dream, then adventures and the ending is where he wakes up.

8. I just bought the new $120 Windsor McCay book!!!!!

"Little Nemo in Slumberland--So Many Splendid Sundays." I bought it as a present for myself. It is fantastic. The book is huge, with each page being a full size reproduction of the original Sunday comic page.

The first printing was only 5,000 copies, so I think it will be valuable.
