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. Commonly cited as "the last great newspaper comic",[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

MODERATORS
There's a website that posts daily Calvin and Hobbes strips that are all high quality digital scans. I wouldn't be surprised if OP is getting his strips from there.
GoComics has average quality at best. You gotta sail the seas if you want to find a good quality scan of the comics. You also have to be discerning about which seas you sail, because there's a bunch of them that are literally just rips from gocomics.
Although, gocomics does have the only official version, so if you wanna support Watterson, you just have to suffer the quality they use.
Thanks!
If my 9 year old had striped pants, and polka dotted shirts, he’d dress like this on purpose. As it stands, he wears his shirts backwards and has no sense of matching anything.
I'm 40 years old and my wife still corrects my color-matching choices for outfits. And I'm not colorblind or anything, I just like certain colors, regardless of whether they blend well with each other or not. If your kid is not doing it intentionally, he might just have no sense of color-coding outfits.
He probably doesn’t. He just wears whatever suits his fancy at the moment. Sometimes I feel like he does it because it’s different. He’s that type of kid. 😂
Tbh nowadays that outfit wouldn't even be that outrageous
Calvin kinda got the drip ngl
