For what it's worth, I didn't think it was too much at all!

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

Thanks Klanky. Seems like the early ones are not as big of a deal to fly through, as most of us have seen them a bizallion times.
I do want to get on schedule matching the release dates, even just for nostalgias sake. As a kid I remember making sure to ask my Dad for the paper everyday to see C&H. Really sucked when I missed a day. Then I got my first C&H book some years later and I was finally able to catch up on the ones I missed.
Thanks for making this community. I left Reddit when the protest happen, and didn't go back. I have been learning the Fediverse and how to add communities and finally fround C&H. Thank you.
You’re welcome and glad to be here too ;)
I am rediscovering a love for C&H thanks!
Glad you’re enjoying them!
I wouldn't mind if you sped up! Really enjoying re-reading the strips :)
Also waiting for people to post their Hobbes plushie creations lol
Yeah I'm surprised we haven't had any plushie creations posted yet or tattoos for that matter. I'm sure we'll get them soon enough.
Glad this community is moving to Lemmy. I miss the Reddit community, but I won't go back. Things are starting to settle in over here and I like it
