I see comic strips pop up on eBay occasionally, but for some reason I think I'd be more wary of buying them off there than I would original comic pages.

Don't own any original strips myself, but if I had the money I'd go buy a Phantom or Dick Tracy.

My one and only piece of original art is from a comic strip, by the best of the best, Joe Kubert.

I have a Superman daily by George Tuska and Vinnie Colletta.

I hate Brian Talley and his fancy Doonesbury strip. I say that with much jealousy.

Good point, Wilson. I had the thought after I posted that, that if you can find a comic guy who has done some strip work, you can catch them selling at shows. Alex Saviuk usually brings lots of Spider-Man strips with him. Tom Batiuk is usually at MOC, and I think he does bring some "Funky" originals with him to sell.

I once got a "Rose is Rose" daily that the artist had donated for a charity auction. The crowd was not hip to original art, and I got it for a song. I didn't feel too bad though, because the charity was a community orchestra, not something too heartbreaking. If it had been auctioned at say, MOC, for the Ronald McDonald House charity, or the March of Dimes, it probably would have gone for much more, especially to a crowd that knew what the heck it was. Of course, as JB has pointed out after being the auctioneer there for years, there's no telling what people will go for. An original art piece that's one-of-a-kind will often be virtually ignored, in favor of some "hot" limited edition toy, or signed and numbered comic, "limited" to only 10,000!
