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

Hold on, what happened to my high oat Gs ramble? Ghost post! Ghost post!

Edit because I'm feeling full of piss and vinegar this morning:

nah, they filter out all the O Gs. out in Oakland. you think it's named for oaks, but it's the Oat clan and the add a d because Derek the goat is really cute. mash the t and the c together in the graffiti, like real bad keming and it looks like a k, remember the klan wasn't out here back in 1945 for exactly one month while we were drunk and high off our asses on oat Gs and remember we were a bunch of naive farm boys.
