Finally - after all the flames, I have a place to rest my head...

I am in search of anyone who might have figured out a complete list of
the Calvin and Hobbes books and how the particular cartoons are 'cross
pollinated'?  

Be forewarned, I would like to know the same thing for Far Side ....

For about a year, the Rocky Mountain News in Denver, CO. published
a comic strip called "Little Women"  (the words were spelled funny
in the actual title).  About 2 monthes ago, the comic disappeared
from the newspaper.  I kind-of enjoyed this strip and miss it a 
little.  Does anyone know of this strip or know what happened to
it?

Thanks in advance.

The only collection that I know of is called "Trust Me".  It has
a picture of Uncle Sid on the cover with a big toothy grin.  It
contains strips for the begining of the strip, and actually
explains all of the character's characters.  It is quite good,
even though it is overpriced.

I was beginning to wonder about this myself.  I had seen a few

What's the general opinion out there?  Is everyone groaning now that
the inevitable first Doonesbury posts are out?

Well, since I'm sure everyone's interested in MY opinion, I agree with
Greg.  I've been a reader since the early days, and it's certainly

My theory is, everyone who reads Bloom County/Outland mentally "hears" 
their own voice when Opus speaks. Opus is a sort of Everypenguin. Thus,
when an actor is hired to do Opus' voice on a TV special, everybody's
going to think that Opus' voice is all wrong (except for the actor
himself, who will think he nailed it exactly).

Ok. For those of you who won't do your homework, you can stop
attempting to post lists of Calvin and Hobbes books.  This is
correct, as far as my extensive research and logical common
sense dictate.  I have been collecting strips since around 
September 1986 and checking them against the books as they are
published, so the dates are correct.  My decision regarding the
dates on the first two books is based on, as I said, logic and
common sense.  I have many, but not all of the strips, and logically,
they fit.  First date is publication date of the book itself.

1987 Calvin and Hobbes  (foreword by Garry Trudeau)
     11/18/85 through 8/17/86
1988 Something Under the Bed is Drooling  (foreword by Pat Oliphant)
     8/18/86 through 5/22/87
1988 The Essential Calvin and Hobbes: A Calvin and Hobbes Treasury
     (foreword by Charles Schulz)  only book with 'ice tea' strip, 5/23/87
     compiles first two books, also includes 12 page 'A Nauseous Nocturne'
1989 Yukon Ho!  (includes The Yukon Song)
     5/24/87 through 2/21/88
1989 The Calvin and Hobbes Lazy Sunday Book: A Collection of Sunday Calvin
       and Hobbes Cartoons
     I have no dates for this collection.  Includes 10 page story 'Spaceman
       Spiff: Interplanetary Explorer Extraordinaire!'
1990 Weirdos From Another Planet!
     2/22/88 through 11/26/88
     12/1/88 through 12/4/88
1990 The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes: A Calvin and Hobbes Treasury
     compiles Yukon Ho! and Weirdos...!  includes 7 page story where Calvin
     becomes an elephant.
1991 The Revenge of the Baby-Sat
     11/27/88 through 11/30/88
     12/5/88 through 9/10/89
     10/16/89 through 10/18/89
1991 Scientific Progress Goes "Boink"
     9/11/89 through 10/15/89
     10/19/89 through 6/10/90
     6/17/90
     6/24/90 through 6/30/90
     7/2/90 through 7/7/90
     7/15/90
1992 Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons
     6/11/90 through 6/16/90
     6/18/90 through 6/23/90
     7/1/90
     7/8/90 through 7/14/90
     7/16/90 through 4/10/91

This set of books, then, collects ALL of Calvin and Hobbes for the period
11/18/85, the date of the first strip, through 4/10/91.  Watterson took
a sabbatical from 5/5/91 to 1/31/92.

Now that you mention it, NANCY is quite popular in certain art/comic
circles.  RAW magazine editors and Bill "Zippy" Griffith are particulary
fond of it.  In a previous generation, MAD magazine took it as a standard.
See Brian Walker THE BEST OF ERNIE BUSHMILLER'S NANCY.  Bushmiller's
approach was to dumb it down as much as possible--the quest for the pure
gag.  And that's exactly what he delivered.  Not funny stuff, but gags.

The book you're refering to was "Tales Too Ticklish To Tell," and, yes,
that was the one with the copy of the "Bloom Picayune," Bloom County's

I haven't seen any of my favorite Far Sides mentioned yet, except the
"polar bears and igloos" one.  So here they are (some are probably
paraphrased):

"Well, that's a pretty good story, but let me tell you about how I
got *this*"

"I hate this place."

"Alright, who's the brains of this outfit?"

"Hey, look what Thag do!"

"This is the Thagomizer, named after the late Thag Simmons"

It's interesting to see the differences in folk's taste in Far Sides,
because I (like another poster) really am not enthused by "Cat Fud,"
but obviously many others are.  And it's good to see big traffic on
r.a.c.s.

It's pretty widely syndicated.  I know that it goes to _XS_ here in
Ft. Lauderdale, _The_New_Times_ in Miami, and _Creative_Loafing_ in
Atlanta.

Same here ... the week ain't complete without knowing hearing about
Maybonne, Marlys, Freddie, Brenda, Lilly, Wanda, etc ... but sadly,
It's not always easy to find the _Times_ where I live, so I usually
miss out on Binky, Bongo, Sheba, and Akbar and Jeff.

Anyone hear Lynda Barry on National Public Radio the other week?  I
caught just the beginning of her interview on Fresh Air ...

I imagine the most useful thing that could go in this group's FAQ would be a
bibliography of strip compilations, including publication data.  Anyone
crazy enough to take submissions for this?
