I will also refer to myself as a Math atheist from now on. 
Ooooh, I love this one.

It's hilarious! It's so much fun to read, and often makes me laugh.
One reason I think Bill Watterson retired is so he could go out on top; there is only so much you can do. Though I do enjoy strips like Dennis the Menace I think the difference between the first 15-20 years of DtM and later is one reason why Watterson called it quits; he didn't want Calvin to become just another kid.
Though if you like reading you'll appreciate this (my first crossover was kind of humdrum and cliche but this I loved.) http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1962524/1/The_GROSS_Is_Always_Greener
For those who love a lot of comic strips like I do, ever wonder what happened when C&H met the Bumsteads during that 75th anniversary? Here's my idea.  http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2557372/1/Crashing_the_Party
Ever wonder what the Noodle Incident was? Here's my take on that. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4741820/1/The_Noodles_and_Subseqent_Madness
I've written others, but you can look for them by blicking "category" in my profile. I didn't want to overload with stuff (I don't know, maybe people only want images in this thread.)
One more? Okay, one more. Mr. Bun gets some personality. I just loved the reference to those old mad scientist movies when he tells Calvin, "I dare say that Susie is right. YOu are mad. Quite mad, I tell you!" http://www.fanfiction.net/s/841185/1/The_Friend_Exchange |

Wouldn't a Krazy Kat or Peanuts crossover work better with a Calvin and Hobbes crossover though? Bill Watterson was heavily influenced by them both.
And Calvin would never become "another kid"; he is too obnoxious haha. But isn't that why we love his role in the strip?
Can't really comment on the rest; only comic strips I like are Rubes, Far Side and Calvin and Hobbes.

I find the strip where Hobbes stops being real a good metaphor for how school can easily destroy the imagination.

I know, it's sad.

I have posted something for those already familiar with the strip; if you want an introduction, I urge you to start here.
For those that already love the strip, here's a cool collection for today.
Shame that the sunday page layout damaged the god comic...the drawing is legendary and the font is a great touch.
The hunting one is one of my all-time favorites hehe.

My wife noticed how I was laughing out loud as I read the doctor strip. So, I asked her to read it, and she ended up laughing out loud, too.
As I recall, that was my same reaction when I had read this particular strip years ago.

Is interest in this thread waning?
