Calvin and Hobbes

.

You gotta love Calvin and Hobbs...

I fear we're raising a Calvin clone with our grandson... although he's not talking much yet. But he's every bit as rambunctious as Calvin. Wears my wife out when we watch him. Here's his "look out girls" smile. And yeah, Calvin and Hobbes had to be the best comic strip ever.

Oh how I miss Calvin and Hobbes! The snowmen were the best!

One of my all-time favorite comic strips - I have a few books of them.
So many of them are touching or insightful or very moving to me.

Calvin and Hobbs were great.

I know I shouldn't but this one cracked me up.

Calvin and Hobbes are my favorite cartoon. I think it was aimed more at adults than kids. Then there is Far Side. Miss them both.

So many great ones are gone. I was a "Bloom County" fan as well. I have this poster hanging in my cabin, along with the last "Bloom County" and last "Opus" strips

Definitely a favorite, along with Bloom Country and The Far Side...

I remember laughing hard at this one back in the day...

My favorite C&H, and Far Side:

Two things: C&H was my Dad's FAVORITE comic strip ever. (RIP Dad December 2019)

And, my old boss & great lifelong friend now went to school with Bill Waterman - Cleveland area. Their 1976 yearbook cover was penned by Waterman. My old boss said Waterman was a funny guy, & seemed like nobody special back then, but he was a talented cartoonist!

Yes - C&H was a great one, & I also LOVED the Far Side. Here is one of my favorite Far Sides:

I have a couple saved on my PC I'll post later.

Great stuff in this thread...

Well since we are looking at some others that are the best.
These are classics that are up there with C&H snowmen

Keep 'em coming ! This is great !

Gotta agree on the other favorite strips - and examples - y'all have shared...

Damn, I had forgotten all about that Outland cartoon. Might be the best cartoon ever.

Bloom County, Outland, and Opus were all slightly different adaptations of the same strip/characters. Very funny.

Anyway, this is one of my all time favorite Far Sides...I had a framed version on the wall of the Minuteman III maintenance shop I worked in when I was in the service back in the early 90s.
Commander thought it was funny...

45 years of construction in a nutshell...

It's actually Bill Watterson. My mom was friends with Bill's mom, Kathy. He's from my hometown of Chagrin Falls, OH. Calvin's mom is basically Bill's mom.

I used to live just west of Chagrin and currently just east of it.

Happy New Year, Everyone.

I loved the Far Side. I have all the books. No way I could pick a favorite

This is Bill Waterson's final comic strip - December 31 1995.
