Can't wait to get it on Wednesday. This comic turns me into a kid again.

I remember being yelled at by my teacher on the first or second grade after quoting Calvin & Hobbes in a math exam. I was traumatized.

Love the dad's signature on the bottom. I think it's also interesting that Calvin is missing, making the kid fill his position (in the original art, Calvin is right next to Hobbes).

I wold pay for that! Would suit emy daughters bedroom and it would be rather unique!

Hrm, it looks like the source that I linked in the original post has pulled down his uploads of the strip. I think I'll just get back to pouring over my compilations again, then.

Regardless, I hope that everyone will continue to share the love!

I never understood this strip:

Anyone care to explain lol?

Ahhhh, "Galochas" here in Portugal! How the hell I missed that!

Years and years in pure ignorance lol...!

Barrett2 · Mar 18, 2011

Man, I could read these for hours. Kicking myself for not keeping all the collections I acquired as a kid. I think I had all the books.

<3 Calvin & Hobbes

Pretty sure I have all of the individual books... as well as the Complete Collection.

I occasionally reference the "Noodle Incident" around friends and they have no idea what I'm talking about (although in a way I guess I don't either).

Not even a language thing, but I remember reading through the books for the first time since I was a child and realizing that I didn't understand a bunch of the strips back in the day. For instance the one where Calvin is teasing Moe:

"Moe, are your maladjusted antisocial tendencies the product of a berserk pituitary gland?"

I had no idea what the hell he was talking about when I was 8, but now it's hilarious.

<3 Calvin

Hell yes it's heavy! I was surprised at how heavy it was!

I've already plowed through the first book and am on the second one.

The paper is glorious and the quality of the cartoons is awesome!. Shame about the hardcover/binding though :-/

Our copy of Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons, so I can't verify this, but there are two collections of Sunday strips: Lazy Sunday Book and Calvin and Hobbes Sunday Pages 1985-1995. All the strips in each are in color and I'd imagine some of them are from Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons.

Fun fact from Sunday Pages 1985-1995:

Bill Watterson said he redrew this strip in a vertical format for the square and vertically themed book collections. In the books, it looks like this:

Came here for this one. Sooooo good. God I love C&H. As others have said, best comic ever and I doubt anything will ever surpass it. Nothing can for me as I read it throughout my childhood and SO many of the strips have such a strong connection with me.

I would pay a pretty penny for an official iPad app with every strip.

omg, that would be awesome!

I think my fav is the one where Calvin is put in time out or something. Its about squeezing the imagination out of kids and then Hobbes turns into a stuffed animal.

Pretty sure this is half of a strip - the other part has Calvin walking back inside because he has to pee or something like that. Dunno.

There is a strip like that but this isn't it

Hey guys, I'm gonna get my friend some of the CnH books as a gift, but want to get them in sequential order. I know this was the first one...

...but don't know the order that comes after? as I always got them randomly.

Uh oh. Spending spree incoming. Reading this means I DONT have all the Calvin and Hobbes books. I thought I had most of them because I have the collected stuff (Essential, Indespensible, Authorative) and a few others which seemed to repeat what I have!

To amazonn!!!

PS. Calvin and Hobbes is the best thing ever ( <<<<avatar)

undrtakr900 · Mar 27, 2011

^^ Haha I'm the same, it seems I'm missing a few(mainly the Sunday books) and I didn't know that "collection" stuff was just two books put together, thought they were hand pick strips like the 10th anniversay.

Hmm...I think its about time I have another read through it's been years since I did.

Also I second your "Calvin and Hobbes is the best thing ever"
