With Thanksgiving over and by now all your Christmas shopping done it’s time to start thinking about 2021 – and calendars. Certainly many people are thinking about next year, about half the best sellers on the Amazon comic strip book list are calendars at the moment. The Far Side has two in the Top Ten!
Over at Amazon’s Best Selling Humor Calendar list we get strictly the calendars,

Andrews McMeel is a major publisher of comic strip related calendars (disclosure: Andrew McMeel Publishing and The Daily Cartoonist play for the same team). The items on their page show, along with the funny stuff, comic art and even, to me, a surprise offering.
