Sometimes No Story May Be A Story

Here's something I wanted to mention I hope doesn't make me look like an ass because the company is simply playing something close to the chest. Through all the BEA 2006 coverage, one story I thought we had a chance to hear something on was any plans by Andrews McMeel to do more giant-sized comics collections along the lines of their complete Far Side and Calvin and Hobbes sales giants. I was told by an AM representative that three to five more of the high-profit items featuring different strips were possible, although no one in my circle of pals could figure out, no matter how much beer was consumed, what would be automatically appealing enough to comics fans to justify the expensive production that went into the initial pair of projects (an annotated Doonesbury, Bloom County, and Pogo were our top candidates). At any rate, as I recall the Complete Calvin and Hobbes was announced at a BEA long in advance of its publication, maybe a couple of years, so perhaps not hearing something at this last one indicates an even longer wait if a future project with a new strip is to come off at all.
