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. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.

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.

What does she expect, he was in a holding pattern for 40 minutes (nearly an hour).

Calvin apparently takes his playtime super seriously.

Oh so this was the inspiration for Keanu for saving the day for driving the bus in a circle.

There is something wrong with that kid.

Looking back, I wonder how much Calvin contributed to my desire to not have children...

LOL

I see several people downvoted my earlier comment. Oh well. There's just no way I could deal with a kid like Calvin. I know he's extreme and no kid is actually like that. But being responsible for a life...yeah, not for me. I'll stick to cats and dogs. Mostly cats.
