I won in an auction years back a bunch of modern ones that the editor had hand signed by the artists-- Charles Schulz, Gary Larsen (Far Side), Dik Browne (Haggar the Horrible), etc. I sold them all off a long while back.
Interestingly, the collection included a limited edition non-proof Calvin and Hobbes lithograph autographed by Bill Watterson that was given as a gift to subscribing newspapers in I think 1992. I didn't think much about it, I just thought it was run of the mill modern signed print worth less than the proofs. I later learned that Watterson is like the Shoeless Joe Jackson of comic strip artists in that be almost never signed anything, and the market value for print was around $1,500.
