That's amazing. I collected all of the anthologies as a kid.

True genius comic. Interesting news.

Hmm. It might just be a new way to view the collection. I don't see anything

That's why the question marks are in my subject. It's a little unclear what they mean, and that's likely intentional.

Bill Watterson, are you listening?

Troy McClure

The 2 best comic strips of all time. They were contemporaries, then they both ended close to one another.

Peanuts is up there for me too.

Troy McClure

Peanuts is definitely a classic, and was a ground breaker, but Far Side and Calvin and Hobbes were the pinnacle I think.

Early Peanuts is genius. Late Peanuts is abysmal garbage. I think Watterson saw

He said as much in one of his books.

Watterson is one of my heroes. Smart guy.

Probably not. He doesn't spend a lot of time thinking about C&H.

Will it be as Outland to Bloom County? SJW comics?

More zombie strips! Bloom County has been running online-only strips on an irregular basis for a few years now —

Me, neither, but Dilbert did a TV series in 1999. Two seasons.

SandYFan

Yeah, what can I say? It was worth a shot.
