Calvin County.... if only !
and yes, another sign of being an old coot.
This would be comic nirvana me thinks : Calvin County: Watterson - Breathed Mash-up: The Time Warner/AOL Merger of the Comic World — BERKELEY BREATHED and the latest edition of "Calvin County": BERKELEY BREATHED

That is so cool. Comics haven't been the same since Opus went on holiday. Berkeley Breathed quit Bloom County because he thought he was stale and readers laughed just because they had gotten familiar with the strip. He doesn't appreciate how clever he is. Neither he nor his characters ever get stale. The same for Sam Waterson and Calvin. Geniuses who went out on top but left us too soon.

Quote:
When Breathed brought Bloom County back this year, he was asked why on Facebook only and not newspaper syndication again. He said one of the main reasons he quit was he was just fed up with fighting newspaper editors over the content of some of his strips... no editors on Facebook. He and Waterson have collaborated a couple of times but not nearly was much as we would like.. and apparently Waterson has no intentions at all of ever bringing back Calvin and Hobbes.

I read Calvin and Hobbes to my kids several times per week for bedtime stories. They love 'em.
