I love Calvin and Hobbes. It's such a treasure. I also admire Bill Watterson's decision against merchandising because he felt it would betray the spirit of the comic. You don't see this kind of artistic integrity anymore, I reckon *cough Harry Potter shower curtain cough*Fyi, Amazon has published the e-book version of some of the books and they're pretty neat. Even though it's always bitter sweet when reading the last strip.
'It's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy...Let's go exploring!'
Indeed.
It's great the way it gives us (well, me at least) the feeling that they're still continuing their daily adventures even if the comic strip has ended.
calvin and hobbes introduced a slight vision of philosophy to me. I think Bill Watterson is secretly a genius.
I love Calvin and Hobbes. And yes, Bill Watterson is a genius.I also admire his truthfulness to his art. I mean he's quitting billion dollar business (they say CH was huge) and start painting.



I think it's one of the best out there :) even though its old.
