Calvin and Hobbes - best newspaper comic EVER

I grew up reading these and relating to them and as I grow older I am reminded of my own fun childhood and how lucky I was.

Im not sure if Calvin and Hobbes was available outside the US but if it wasnt you all should check it out maybe....if youre into this sorta thing.

Anyone else a huge fan of this comic or do you just think its rubbish?

i own each and every calvin & hobbes book. occasionally i'll grab them and read through it on a shitty day to bring a smile to my face. i love it. when bill watterson decided he wasnt gonna do it anymore i was so sad for about a year. the comics section just were never the same for me.

BoonDocks is really good. Also Get Fuzzy. That cat reminds me of my cat.

Calvin & Hobbes is definitely one of, if not my favourite.

The Far Side too, but thats a different kind of humour.

This is my favorite get Fuzzy, though I lost alot of respect for the creator when he edited the third panel to appease the politically correct:

Perry Bible Fellowship

Tom the Dancing Bug

I also love Calvin and Hobbes, and while I might not rank it best ever, it's certainly worth consideration

definitely my fav comic ever too..

calvin reminds me a LOT about my childhood life. Carefree days, having wild imaginations, scavenging around the woods and so much free time.. i never had an imaginary friend though.. although i did talk to my optimus prime figure from time to time.

my favorite farside is these 3 guys stranded on a small boat out at sea and there is a dog among them...and they draw straws because i guess they need to get rid of one of them or it'll sink...and one of the guys draws the straw and the dog is sitting there with this smug look on his face...

hahahah

oh and there is another one with these guys in a resuce helicopter, and they are flying over a little island w/ some guy waving for help and they wrote "HELP" in the sand, but the water from the ocean washed away part of the "P" in "HELP" and so it looked like, "HELF" and the pilot is like (into his radio), "Oh wait, nevermind, it says, 'HELF'" like he was cancelling backup to rescue them.

What the fuck...you read C&H too...

YES

Absolutely love Calvin & Hobbes. I used to love the ones where the drawing style would change to a serious 'soap opera' style when like calvin and that girl that used to stalk him played house. I think her name was Susie?

One of the best strips is when Calvin doesn't want to write a book report and travels back in time to 6:30pm Calvin, then travels forward in time to 8:30pm Calvin, and all three Calvins end up arguing/fighting while the 2 Hobbes end up writing the book report ...

The only thing missing is stupendous man and spaceman spiff.
