A couple of problems with collecting. You spend time getting a hundred or so and find they’re worth $19.12 total. Or you get one supposedly worth $5000, and the only offer you get is $19.12.
The cartoonist has a tendency to reward his characters with undeserved gifts (i.e., Marianne Winters giving Les Moore her Best Actress Oscar last year in Funky Winkerbean).
Comic Book Seller:Well, sir, I can obviously tell you are a huge fan of that comic book. Who am I to deny you the pleasure of owning it. Why don’t you keep it? I’ll happily take the loss.
Jff: (sobs) When I was a boy, my mother cut up my comic books with a butcher knife.
Comic Book Seller: (gasps) The vile creature! You seem like a really swell guy. Help yourself to as many of my nifty comics as you like?
If this happens, I swear to God I’ll bite the corner off my monitor.
Vendor: “Yeah, that’s what I am trying to do—sell it. So far, I’m having no luck. You were really fortunate to be able to unload your copy on some sucker.”
What happened to Jff’s gray sideburns? Is he getting younger? Is this strip slowly sucking the death out of him? Will he turn into his own inner child, then scamper out of sight to be forever lost in an eternal Twilight-Zone-style ComiCon? That would be a small price to pay to be rid of him.
Jffff turns into a blubbering baby, much like the TZ episode, ‘A Short Drink From a Certain Fountain.’ Gold digger Ruta Lee was NOT going to be a PLEASED baby sitter.

“Here you are at the World Series, having bought the incredibly expensive tickets! Do you like baseball?” “No. I sure like to whine though.”

Jff: “I had this comic once and sold it.”
