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

that is so unrealistic and I can only vehemently protest against the obviously unfair way Calvin and Hobbes are portrayed and how dishonestly Rosalyn presented as the innocent victim in this situation. Rosalyn knows Calvin and his stripped accomplice very well. She has been babysitting them, already. So, how come after her previous experience she would still let her precious notes lying around, unprotected from such direct threats? She framed them, obviously! :p

I already said it a few times but it does no harm repeating it: thx so much for this dose of pure bliss in our feed. Even though I own all the albums, it's just great to have those strips regularly popping up here being able to read them like we were supposed to: one after the other, little by little <3

Ah, I remember this saga is a good one!

1000% team Calvin on this. I hate Rosalyn too.
