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

I've just been wondering: what is going to happen on the 1.º of march next year? 1988 was a leap year, but 2025 is a common year, which means that in 1988 we go from 28 to 29 of february, but in 2025 we go from 28 of february to 1.º of march. Do we skip the comic released on the 29.º?

My guess would be a double comic day

Yeah, there should be at least one comic of Calvin asking Hobbes to tie him up.

Edit: 1987 Nov 30th comic has been posted.
