I like to read these to fall asleep.
Back in the day every bookstore seemed to have several shelves of comic collections.
Nowadays you're lucky to get Garfield #241, the Calvin and Hobbes and Peanuts uber-massive tomes, and Pearl Before Swine (which for some reason I can't stand.)
If I look around online I can see there are some others, including a few of those I find in my newspaper. But it's pretty pathetic especially when I consider the world of webcomics which is so richly flourishing.
But webcomics, being ad-driven generally, post at best one strip a page. I'd pay something to get behind a paywall where I could view a physical book's worth of strips at once on an iPad. I'd pay more to actually be able to get the book.
