Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day.

Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995.

Oh wow! I don't remember this one. It might be time to get the collection out. Or better yet I should go get that new book he just published. Hope everybody has a decent if not survivable day.

That last line made me chuckle, haha! Reminds me of when I'd tell my friend to "have a tolerable day at work"

I skipped a few words and wondered why such a comment took a right turn with you hoping everybody has a not survivable day.

I mean we all have exactly one day like that in our lives but hoping for them was a bit odd.
