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

Hobbes really has it figured out.

Calvin is intellect, Hobbes is wisdom. But sometimes they’re both dumb. I like it. Very much.

As an atheist I get asked this. Like I would have no reason to live if there wasn't a god. I live my best life and enjoy all the good things life has to offer. And seafood with friends are one of the good things. Shrimp is a very good thing.😁

Do you know I've been sitting here thinking to myself: that if I didn't believe in life, if I lost faith in the woman I love, lost faith in the order of things, were convinced in fact that everything is a disorderly, damnable, and perhaps devil-ridden chaos, if I were struck by every horror of man's disillusionment -- still I should want to live. Having once tasted of the cup, I would not turn away from it till I had drained it!

Hobbes understands that the secret to life is crab. 🦀🦀🦀

He really will do anything for a tuna fish sandwich.

Is it possible to sharpen the posted images? This way the text would be better readable.
