Now that you all mention it, I do remember that "Ma" was always at the bottom 
of the Little Annie Fannie (oops!! that's Little Orphan Annie) Sunday version.
They never should have let anyone continue 'Annie' after Harold Gray died.

Thanks to all who posted!

In Italy most weekly comic magazines have been using computerized
lettering for years (Lanciostory, Skorpio etc.) even when using/
translating material from foreign authors. 
The problem with that is rather the impersonal character that
affects the whole art.

	i didn't mean to imply that i never thought the far side
was funny.  i meant to say that these couple years after his
"sabbatical" haven't measured up to his great work of the early
and mid 80's.  we've had a lot of repeats mixed in with original
work.  recently, though, he's been getting back on track and has
been relying less on biology jokes and more on current events.

	I read in the Comics Buyer's Guide a long time ago (about the time
when he started drawing three panels instead of four), that while he continues
to draw the strip, the lettering is done mechanically.

	I do not know what type of assistance he has with the strip, but I 
assume he has a factory/studio that produces artwork for the merchandise.

	For a sarcastic look at comic strips and marketing, read this week's
(October 1,1992) strips of Fox Trot.  Also, read the Fox Trot strips that 
contain a parody of the Family Circus.

Peter Mullaney asked about Ma Green.  The strip existed from 1931 until
Harold Gray's death and ran as a four-panel with the Sundays.  It was
only on Sundays, only three or four panels, and was included only with
full-page versions such as the Daily News.  (A personal note:  when I
was 12 or so, back in the late 50s, the local drug store used to carry
the Sunday News, which included Ma Green with Little Orphan Annie.)

Don't know for sure, but there was a Ma Green strip which spun off
a character from Little Orphan Annie back in the 30s. It appeared
underneath the Sunday Annie strip and at least some are reprinted
in Fantagraphics Annie reprint volumes (highly recommended btw).
No idea how long it lasted, or whether it became a full fledged
separate strip.

If memory serves me correctly, Charles Shultz did either the introduction or
the foreward to the first "Calvin and Hobbes" book.  He said he liked Calvin,
saying (I think) he was "deliciously spoiled."  He even went so far as to
ascribe to Calvin the honor of having "potato feet."  Hmm, like the Lay's
commerical, "you can't eat just one..."  (:-)

I think this is indeed the case.  I remember, shortly after Trudeau's first
hiatus, reading a strip in the Vancouver _Province_ in which Mike had to
write some jingoistic commercial for some product or other.  He balked,
protesting that he didn't see any other countries needing that sort of
boosterism; he didn't see ads saying,
			"Go for it, Egypt!"
		"Feel good about yourself, Thailand!"

I really liked that particular strip, but I never did see it in a book ...

"Ma Green" was done by Harold Gray, creator of "Little Orphan Annie".  Ma Green
was a character from the strip in 1931 or 32. She ran a boarding house that
Annie and Daddy Warbucks went to when he was broke.  Eventually they spun her
off as a Sunday-only strip below the Sunday LOA strip.  I have only seen a few
strips reprinted in an article on LOA.  I don't think anyone has (or plans to)
reprinted the strip in book form.

Hope this helps.

Me again.

	There are two ways to get all of the strips.  One is to cut them out
of the newspaper.  The other is to buy a magazine titled Comic Relief.

	This magazine reprints:
		editorial cartoons from the past month
		News of the Wierd
		Ask Dr. Science (He knows more than you do!)
		Stephanine Brush
		Dave Barry
		Joe Bob Briggs
		
		Life in Hell
		Ernie Pook's Comeek
		Calvin and Hobbes
		The Far Side
		Outland
		Doonesbury
		Washingtoon
		and some other stuff I can't remember.

	It is printed on newsprint, and the only Sundays are from Outland (in
black and white).

	I hope that one day in the not too distant future (< 20 years), someone
will release the Annotated Doonesbury, which will reprint all of the strips, 
with historical explanations of the events mentioned in the strip, on acid free
paper, in hardcover.  Then, and only then, will I recover from growing up 
during the Reagan-Bush administration.

Dates are from comparison of strips clipped from newspapers since 1986 as well
as checking back issues for those I do not have from first two books.

This set of books collects ALL of Calvin and Hobbes for 11/18/85, the date
of the first strip, through 4/10/91, with the exception of the newspaper
strip of 11/28/85.  The strip that appears in the books (and in _Comic
Relief_, a book reprinting the strips from the Thanksgiving Hunger Project)
was not run in the newspapers.  The newspaper strip has Hobbes getting a bath
in the washing machine.  The book strip has Calvin ordering pizza after being
sent to his room.
 
Watterson took a leave of absence from 5/5/91 to 1/31/92.

How widespread is this strip? The St Paul paper (Presspatch) just started
getting it recently and I think it has possibilities. Maybe a kindler gentler
Calvin and Hobbes.

The strip is written and drawn by Tom Toles who also does political 
cartoons. (Remember Spaceman Ronnie?) The strips I've seen so far all
have to do with a small child. Most of last week was spent on the logic
of whether dirt was food or not. 

Saturday's was pretty good:

"The death laser robot sees his mortal enemy behind the crib."

"He turns the corner and takes aim at...

"...Puffy the Musical Circus Elephant."

"Sensing mis-matched toy categories, he moves on."

Has anyone been getting the strip longer or is it brand new? Can anyone fill
in the details on this?

For those of us who don't read the paper that claims - "All The News That
Fits We Print" or is it "All The News We Think Is Fit We'll Print", could
you give us a synopsis of what Monsieur Trudeau said? 

P.S.  Why does anyone read a paper that doesn't have comic strips?  Without
comic strips the best part of the paper is missing!!
