Is there a Calvin and Hobbes post or should I be the first to start one? I know many others adore the comic strip as well, and it deserves the praise.
Been reading for over half my life and love it, so I'm willing to do a multi-part series to introduce the series to others.

I like the strip, too. WP has some C & H avatars in their gallery, that you can use for your profile. They also have a number of other categories, including some Larsen ones. I went with a goofy looking Larsen alien, myself.  |

I grew up with Calvin & Hobbes. (: When I was younger, I didn't quite understand the deeper meaning of the content in some strips, so as an adult, I have a new appreciation for the comic.

I'm glad to see there are people who still remember this wonderful comic strip...starting tomorrow I'll do daily installments of key themes of the strip. Today though I should be getting off by this time, so here is a good introduction for those that need refreshing:

Love that website name....Progressive Boink hehe.
Same for me Cheshire, Bill Watterson was a brilliant man, lacing dark truth with lighthearted comedy. A lot of commentary on the human condition throughout...

I was going to post on them but schools apparently block all image searches. I find that bullshit...daily post in a few hours.

Stop it! Don't you know that Calvin and Hobbs overdose is very dangerous?! One can only view two or three strips at the most a day! And those should be viewed at least three hours apart. |

No such thing as overdose. It is addictive though, definitely.
Too many images though? I am willing to take recommendations. I just think showing my point rather than writing about the themes of his writing or art influences is important.
Trivia: Bill Watterson was heavily influenced by Krazy Kat and Peanuts.
