You got that right !

That's actually really fantastic. Bill the Cat was a bit of a cultural icon at one point in time for those born 30 years or so ago.

 

Thanks for sharing, Stephen!

oh, I remember the Bill the Cat t-shirts and other stuff....It was big when I was in high school...

It's a great piece (Sunday sized-strip) and it does introduce a main character but man, that is a LOT of dough!

Expect to see more dailys and Sundays pop up on ebay.

That is a crazy amount of money.

I would love to get a daily myself. This is a lot of money though.

You can still buy dailies and Sundays direct from the Breathed family:

You'll need the books to serve as reference since they don't have scans of any of the strips available on their site. It's a minor inconvenience. They're great people to work with otherwise.

 

I was lucky enough to snag this one a while back:

Wow. This is a cool forum. My brother has alot of comic art from my dad who gave it to him. I am not sure he knows this stuff is worth any money. Is this a developing market? My brother has some old Marvel covers and pages that I always thoight were worth less than the comic. This forum has been an interesting read. Thanks all.

Yeah, sell those worthless covers to me!!!

That is an awesome piece of original art - wish I owned it! I still have my Bill the Cat doll and my "Vote for Bill for President" t-shirt.

Wow. Thank you so much. Now I need to buy a couple of those volumes to pick out which strips I want. It's almost stupid not to buy 2 dailies and get the discount as it works out to 90.00 off each strip.

 

Thanks!

It's a KRAZY hobby. Feel free to post scans of all the wonderful art you mention . . .
