What collections would I need to own to have every last calvin and hobbes comic ever made? I have the Authoritative, The Indispensable Calvin And Hobbes, and The Days are just Packed. I know there are still more out there, but these are a good number of the comics.

They have a complete collection of every strip for $100. I'd get it, but I already have all of the other books exept one that went out of print. Calvin and Hobbes is the shit!

I have a bunch of C&H collections...
The Days Are Just Packed, some one that's just Sunday comics, Scientific Progress Goes Boink, Revenge of the Baby-Sat, Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Snowmen, Something Under The Bed Is Drooling, possibly a few more.

I forgot, I do have Something under the bed is drooling.
A lot of the ones you mentioned are a part of one of the compilation books I have, either Authoritative or Essential. I know there are like 3 "main" books, Authoritative, Essential and something else...that supposedly have them all. But there's an innumerable amount of writings and commentary and other awesome shit from Watterson in the other books so it's not actually entirely redundant to own ones with some of the same comics.

Oh, boy! I really used to love Calvin and Hobbes a lot and they still can crack a smile. I remember when my uncle bought me the the first book/collection for my 12th birthday. It was definetly the best gift alongside the Mega Man(1) that I got from my birthday there.

I can't remember what the hell the other one besides Authoritative and Essential is. It's been bugging me, too.

If I really cared to, I could just look inside the cover of either of them, it lists it right there.

I have a ton of Garfield books stashed under my bed. I hate Mondays! And hearing a cat say that makes me identify with them, and buy every bit of merchandise they sell!
Although, I do hate Mondays, and I did love Garfield as a kid. "Garfield & Friends" was a great show.

Garfield and Friends did rule. I also used to like the comic, but it's went to shit lately, going for lame-ass one liners instead of full story arcs like they used to have.

I don't have the big collection that just came out, but I have every other C&H book, which I guess means I have every strip collected.

I'm pretty sure it's "The Indispensable Clavin and Hobbes"
Calvin and Hobbes ruled, it actually annoys me a little that they're not in the papers anymore. Along with Peanuts, and Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes was a must read growing up on Sundays. Now I read the paper everyday, and the comics section seems kind of lifeless without it. Maybe one day it'll get Classic status like Peanuts did and they'll run it again, but probably not.
