My girlfriend found a newspaper comics collection of
Baby Blues somehow and brought it over for me. I don't recall it ever being in my local paper, which is a shame because it's pretty good. I've actually sat down and started reading through a whole collection for the first time since
Calvin & Hobbes or
The Far Side. I have a few friends about to have children and I figure I'll give a collection of these for a present.
I'm curious as to how the authors get to make their Sunday strips as they see fit. They don't follow the normal panel-line restrictions, but then again I haven't looked into that issue since Watterson, and don't know if paper's allow more leeway now. I suppose it's possible they just put their Sundays up on a webpage or something, too.
It got me thinking what other comics might be out there... What are some local favorites of yours?
Here's the
Baby Blues homepage, by the way:
