The Oatmeal has a good one on Christopher Columbus that has the internets buzzing a bit:

Got the first two Deluxe editions of ExMachina. Such a great comic, I long for Saturday to come so I can go buy the next ones. Vaughan is now guilty for 3 of my fav comics ever (Y and Saga being the other two).

When I was roaming around Brussels I walked into a comic book store and looked around. Outside of the typical Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead graphic novels that caught my attention, one called Blacksad did as well. I can totally get down with something like this:

This is so awesome. The great Bill Watterson, creator of Calvin and Hobbes, came out of retirement to draw three strips of Pearls Before Swine. The very interesting story of how it came to pass can be found, here.

Here are the three strips. And, God as my witness, when I saw them, I thought that Pastis (the author of PBS) was imitating the style of CaH.

I saw all 3 comics and did not even think about that until today's strip and then I saw the blog post. Great story

Awesome!

The Watterson story and strips are fantastic. Now I'm on board with Pearls.

It's been one of my favorites for years. I've got a few of the collections if you'd like to glance through them and send them back to me.

Most likely, the local library has a few of the collections on the shelf. (My daughter and I bond by checking out our favorite strips' comic collections from the library and reading them together.)

Heh. You don't have kids, yet. When you do, I bet you re-acquaint yourself with those places.

Pearls Before Swine is the best comic out there today, IMO. If you can, get the treasuries from the library. Pastis writes notes and stories about some of the strips in the treasuries, most of which are pretty cool.

A yellowed copy of this is hanging up next to my beer fridge:

I know I'm in the minority, but Pearls Before Swine irritates the fuck out of me. Not a fan at all of those shaggy-dog pun run ons.

Amazon has a bunch of Kindle editions of Calvin and Hobbes collections on sale for $2 each.

I've added C+H to my daily rotation, I like it.

I guess there's at least one good thing about Donald Trump being in the presidential election. Bloom County reportedly is coming back!
