every once in while I remember to go look through her archives and they're just as delightful as I remember
if I had kids they'd have a set of those big floppy paperback Calvin & Hobbes books and all the Hark A Vagrant books
We did this! The real trick is in buying two copies, so once they've "loved" the first into a broken spine, badly-crayoned in black and white strips, and forty randomly loose pages, you still have the backup to pull out once they appreciate it more...a lesson I wish I'd learned before they got ahold of my Venture Brothers DVDs

exactly, that's why you also get the floppy paperback ones - they're easier to carry around and it won't matter if they get spilled or slept on.
edit: also, I like the idea of there being a "fancy, important thing that we have to be careful not to mess up" in the house that isn't something boring and adult, like jewelry or china or clothing, but just a treasured version of the cartoons that everyone likes, including the kid.

My oldest son found a hardcopy Perry Bible Fellowship when he was seven once, and still whispers forbidden tales to his little brothers like he's describing a "forbidden Sunday-morning funnies" Necronomicon
