Gerry | 52 comments I know it's not a book but anyone else enjoys this comic strip?
I think it's one of the best out there :) even though its old.

message 2: by Ds (new) - rated it 5 stars

Ds Goh 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.

Gerry | 52 comments 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.

Sasthi Nandani | 9 comments calvin and hobbes introduced a slight vision of philosophy to me. I think Bill Watterson is secretly a genius.

Arie Rahayu (arierahayu) | 1 comments 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.


Asti | 4 comments I was introduced to calvin and hobbes in 1993. My husband began reading them too in 1997. About 3 years ago may daughters started to laugh on the strip on my laptop. So now my whole family could sit together and laughing at Calvin's incredulity.
