I tried to collect some samples of classic comic strips, so at least I could say I'd been exposed to them. I got Walt & Skeezix vol. 1 thinking I wouldn't like it, but turns out it holds up very well.
The problem is that I also bought Sundays with Walt & Skeezix because I loved the few samples of Sunday strips I had seen and wanted a healthy sample. But the book is too darn big. My god, it's so unwieldy it's ridiculous. Every time I leave it, I think I exaggerated its size, then I return and it's even bigger than I remembered. It's like I can't get my mind to accept how big it is. Anyway, I wish I had just waited till the Sunday strips got collected, even if they aren't just the "art-y" ones, and even if they will take several volumes to get to them. Maybe I'll try to sell it, since I never opened it. I figured I better not in case I wanted to re-sell it.
