I briefly considered it, but Peanuts is pretty minimalist and I figured anything I posted would likely be forgotten quickly.Originally Posted by Zelena
May I add I’m surprised no one posted a Peanuts cover?
I searched for an hour for a good Phantom collection cover, but nothing caught my eye.

I'm a huge fan of those along with Hagar The Horrible. I learned to read comics through the Sunday funnies and through Tempo paperback collections of strips we had around the house before I started reading comic books regularly. Beetle Bailey, Hagar, Broom Hilda, and Hagar were among those paperbacks as well as getting read every week with my dad on Sundays. Peanuts, Tarzan, Phantom, Prince Valiant, and others were appointment reading as a kid, and all the others mentioned plus the likes of Blondie, Hi and Lois, and many eithers fueled my love of comics before I read my first super-hero book. Even now, when people ask me my favorite comics of all time, Canniff's Terry and the Pirates and Steve Canyon, Walt Kelly's Pogo, Raymond' Flash Gordon, Foster's Prince Valiant and Tarzan, Falk's Phantom, Watterson's Calvin & Hobbes, and Breathed's Bloom County will get listed.

Our library actually has them as well. Originally Posted by Nschornhorst

A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:
Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

I used to collect the little books of Heathcliff, Family Circus, Garfield, Far Side, and of course Calvin & Hobbes. My mom has a ton of the Peanuts books and my father has Bloom County/Outland. Lately, my favorite strips to collect are Pearls Before Swine and Sherman's Lagoon. I've also been having fun riffing on Mary Worth and Mark Trail on Comics Kingdom. I'm glad so many folks here still love the daily comic strips! <3
