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

We'll have to ask Spaceman Spiff after he's killed this giant Space Squid.
The Noodle Incident, for example, never is actually explained. Watterson liked to leverage the unknown.
The Noodle Incident is a mysterious incident often alluded to in Calvin and Hobbes. It is mentioned several times in the course of the series, but the reader is never told exactly what it was, as Bill Watterson wanted the reader to make up the story themselves, claiming that it would be even more hilarious.
The possibilities are endless, but mischief is the key to any of them, I'm sure.
Something that Dad probaby can't see but he senses it's something.
The third panel is so perfect
The penny drops with a massive THUD
I had some fried squid eariler this week. It was delicious.
