Calvin and Hobbes owns

[Fifthfiend]

Basically the all-time best comic; contrary opinions: wrong.

Feel free to use this thread to discuss Calvin and Hobbes and the extent to which it owns (answer: the maximum possible extent)

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

I don''t know a lot about Calvin and Hobbes, but what I do know is that is spawned Calvinball. And Calvinball was awesome. Therefore Calvin and Hobbes must, by extension, be awesome.

I miss Calvinball on here, we should do that again sometime.

Minus 15 squeebles for failing to recognize a game already in progress.

My grandma had a book full of calvin and hobbes strip, and I read through a bunch of them, and there were some gems here and there but on the whole I felt a bit disappointed. Didn't really live up to expectations.

Well..she felt the same about you!

[Seil]

I know this is all in good fun, and you were atempting a good ribbing, but that's... that's really harsh.

[Marc v4.0]

UGH

Taking offense for someone else at a bit of ribbing is the lamest thing.

Really?

Well, everyone's entitled to their own opinions. Even if those opinions are wrong.

I find that the vast majority of pages are fantastic, but the longer storylines tend to be the best. It's possible it was just a victim if hype for you, but as newspaper comics go, there isn't really a whole lot better than Calvin and Hobbes.

Like, objectively.

Now I'm reminded of what my awful mistake of not taking better care of my Calvin and Hobbes collections. I must've read those books cover-to-cover ten times each. They're trash, now, I think.

Hmm... the tenth anniversary book is only $12 on Amazon. That's the one with the commentary by Watterson under every strip and the foreword that made little phil_ start to consider the creator's role in the custody of his artwork.

Calvin and Hobbes wasn't a part of my childhood. Sadly I didn't discover it until adolescence.

However I will point out, as the guy who wrote the forward for one of the books stated:

This [book] is magic.

And magic is what Calvin and Hobbes was, is, and will continue to be for generations to come. I will personally be getting my hands on a few books or a collection, and raising my kids to know and love it as I did, late though I was in coming to it.

I like Calvin and Hobbes a lot, but Pearls Before Swine makes me laugh a lot, too. Better than Calvin and Hobbes? Nah, but it's still funny.

I've felt the same about me niece and Pooh Bear.

[Ecks]

Winnie the Pooh is also an excellent source of childhood mirth and wholesome value.

But that isn't what this thread is about, silly Seil.

[Seil]

When was I ever on topic? When was I ever right?

[synkr0nized]

I have all of the books and/or collections, I think.
I re-read them often when I visit my folks, as that's where I left them. I don't know why I haven't kept them with me.

Calvin & Hobbes (or Lassi & Leevi) owns. What else is there to say?
