I have a desktop widget that is basically just going through the Calvin and Hobbes archive.

While they almost always get quite a bit of chuckle out of me every day, today's was a little less of an uproarious chuckle, and more of a "lol way too true" moment.

The one I use is by: Jonathan Abbott

I can't find it anywhere. Looks similar, and it might just be personal preference. The one I use shows the full strip, mini, and click to get an enlarged pop-out view.

Seems the pop-out view was preserved in that similar gadget, but, unless the options change it, it doesn't look like it shows a mini preview of the full strip.

This one updates automatically every day, once per day. It has just been running through the archives in the exact order of release. Well, today's is from the archives for March, 2nd, can't recall which year. So it's not day and date, but doesn't matter, the in order bit is nice.

You do get the full sunday strip on sundays. 😀

DO WANT!

There is a Jonathan Abbott blog page where there is a link to a Calvin and Hobbes gadget bug report but the link comes up dead for me and I do not see a mention from him about where to download the original gadget.
 
the snow men were the best.

The snowmen ones are indeed my absolutely favorite.

Damn kid is demented. Reminds me of me in my childhood, I just never applied it to snowmen. Thinking back, I wish I would have been exposed to C&H when I was a young kid. I so would have made snowmen scenes in my yard, or in the middle of the boulevard on our street. 😀
 
the two in the series after the one in the OP are just golden. This sums up me just about any time I ordered anything.

and the Calvin and Hobbes legacy lives on in crappy rip off versions of Calvin pissing on a logo of a car manufacturer, or kneeling at a cross.
