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.

The emotional depth in what at first glance looks like a silly comic strip is overwhelming. The older you get, the more you understand what’s going on in each of these characters.

She's such a good mum. Taking the time to help Calvin, despite the bigger picture of the break-in.

Dang, I barely remember this comic. Such memories.

Wasn't he...... found to be with Sue?

spoilerNo, he was not. You might be thinking of the saga where Hobbes was stolen by a dog and later found by Susie.
