Talk:Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes

WorldCat results?

The article was recently edited to increase the total number of libraries indicated by WorldCat as holding the book from 10 to 13, but I am seeing no change in the WorldCat results. Is WorldCat returning different results for other users? These are the libraries that are returned when I query WorldCat from a California ZIP code:

1. California State University, Sacramento - Sacramento, CA 95819 United States
2. Bismarck Public Library - Bismarck Veterans Memorial Public Library - Bismarck, ND 58501 United States
3. North Dakota Small Library Group - Bismarck, ND 58505 United States
4. Velva School & Public Library - Velva, ND 58790 United States
5. Valley City State University - Allen Memorial Library - Valley City, ND 58072 United States
6. University of North Dakota - Chester Fritz Library - Grand Forks, ND 58202 United States
7. Xavier University - McDonald Memorial Library - Cincinnati, OH 45207 United States
8. Library of Congress - Washington, DC 20540 United States
9. Zayed University Library - Dubai, United Arab Emirates
10. Ngee Ann Polytechnic Library - Singapore, 599489 Singapore

As of current, the Zayed Univerity Library is no longer listed as having the book, I've updated the count from 13 to 9. 98.162.150.124 (talk) 16:00, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

My most recent query returned 8 results. (I yet wonder whether WorldCat returns different results for different users.) Bookmaven3003 (talk) 03:26, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

"originally appeared" dates for strips

I removed the "originally appeared" dates for the comic strips because I can't seem to find a source for the dates. However, this information would be interesting for the article, if someone knows where it can be referenced. Bookmaven3003 (talk) 03:26, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Italicization of the title of the book

The titles of major works, including comic strips and books, are customarily italicized. However, when contained within the title of another major work, the title of a major work is not italicized separately; the entirety of the title of the work is italicized. Though Calvin and Hobbes on its own as the title of a comic strip is italicized, Calvin and Hobbes is not italicized when it is contained within the title of another major work; the entirety of the title Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes is properly italicized.

Other illustrative examples:

• Raise the Titanic! - Though the proper names of ships are italicized on their own, the entirety of the title of the book is italicized.

• Heit's 2012 book Imagination and Meaning in Calvin and Hobbes - A reference in the Calvin and Hobbes article.

• The book Only What's Necessary: Charles M. Schulz and the Art of Peanuts by Kidd and Spear - Another comic strip example. The title of the comic strip, Peanuts, is not italicized separately within the title of the book; the entirety of the title of the book is properly italicized.
