Calvin and Hobbes

[Saint Nick]

Do you like the comic strip?

I think they are hilarious... a friend of mine has the books and they're great :laugh:

 

[Kirby]

I like it, although Foxtrot is my favorite.

 

[KarenMarie]

Loved them since they came out.

own all the books, as well as giving them as gifts to those I like.

they are soooo totally blown out!!!

Greatest comic strip ever! Bill Watterson is a genius, in every sense of the word. The strips are so intelligent and subtle, and his characters have actual, well, character! The only other comic that I can think of that even comes close is The Far Side.

Foxtrot has been run into the ground. What I like about Calvin and Hobbes is that Watterson stopped the strip before it got to that point.

Best comic strip evar!

 

[Yossarian]

I can never decide if I like C&H more or Far Side.

 

[WildHorse]

One of the best ever.

I heard that Watterson quit the strip & retired in his 30s. Our loss.

 

[MrDingleDangle]

love it...great strip, always picks me up when i'm in a bad mood

 

[Eos]

One of the best ever. Foxtrot and Get Fuzzy are at the top for me now.

 

[dethman]

wow. pretty overwhelming.

 

[giantpinkbunnyhead]

Best Strip ever!! I even have the hardback complete collection, it weighs about 25 pounds!

 

[I Saw OJ]

Calvin and Hobbes > all comic strips ever

Although farside is a really really close second.

 

[0roo0roo]

i'd like them more if i coulda bought a plush hobbes. since the author is so against marketing interest just sorta died off for me he took it too far and just deprived his fans

calvin and hobbes is very deep, and very intelligent and very funny comic strip.

the same can't be said about my grammaar.

anyways, I loved the strip, and the last C&H strip is very bittersweet

The Sunday strip where Calvin has an argument with his father and having seen the other side of the argument finds his whole perception of reality falling apart has to be one of the funniest ones ever. Once he gets things 'back into perspective' Calvin declares to his dad, "You're still wrong."

It's alright, though I find Calvin to be irritating as all hell most of the time. Damn crazy kid without adequate mental discipline.
