I am on my second pass on The Complete Calvin and Hobbes. It is a great thing.

I'd love to have the Complete C&A, but I don't want to deal with that gigantic hardcover. (I guess I could try to collect all the individual books.) Does that come with a dvd-rom for computer viewing?

No.

As much as I hate the weight of each book, there is a certain pleasure in reading EVERY cartoon drawn, in sequence. Plus, you get some extra stuff that I don't believe is available anywhere else.

I have the collection in the bathroom and it is great library material.

That's what I've done...but as they came out, not all at once. It would be cool to read them all, in sequence, all the way through though.

Me three, but we haven't actually opened it yet! It lives next to our "Complete Far Side" and there's a space waiting for the "Complete Dilbert".

I've always found disappointment in reading "complete x" comic strip collections.

They aren't meant to be read that way and I find it really brings to the forefront the little cheats, repetitions, and gimmicks that all daily strip writers must, out of necessity, use.

I've discovered the same thing now that I frequently watch entire seasons of some TV show in a couple weeks due to the wonder of DVD. The writing, for the most part, really isn't meant to be seen in bulk over a short period of time.
