Wow, there's a name I haven't heard in a long time. I miss his comics, along with Bloom County.

See Lucas and Jar Jar.

No, it's not just you.

For Christmas a few years back, my mother gave me the three volume complete collection. I'm still impressed the Watterson managed to avoid the push to turn his comic strip into a huge merchandise franchise.
