Calvin and Hobbes is probably the comic I will name if asking for the best of all time.

I collected just about everything C&H and because of the lack of official merchandising it’s easier than most things to do so.

I placed a bet with my daughter that there was a book in the small box that arrived, she couldn’t believe it 😂

Fyi. Recently posted on Bluesky here: https://bsky.app/profile/fantagraphics.bsky.social/post/3mtcmgdoqpp2b

Reading peepshow after Mattt's short documentary is really tearing my heart apart. I thought I would only start at greetings from ipanema, but I am devouring the strips.

Fantagraphics published his book Canvas in 2004. More info on the exhibition.

It was previously scheduled for an October 20 release date.

Just finished this. It was a slog to get through, partly because it's a heavy topic, partly because there is a sense of repetition that Sacco intentionally adds to reinforce how Palestinians experience the same hardships.

I did want to highlight images 1-6, where Sacco relays an account of being imprisoned. He maintains the rigidity of the panels comparsd to how he normally opens each story, and adds more panels as the imprisonment stretches on. Really good technique.
