Calvin and Hobbes fan here, I have all their comic strips books (from 1985 to the last on New Years eve 1995). Calvin and Hobbes is among the funniest and most humorous comic strips there is. And too bad it's no longer produced by Bill Watterson, in fact a movie "Dear Mr Watterson" about the creator was made by fans interested in his work.

You can stream this doc on Hulu.
It's a great ode to the strip and I would definitely recommend it to everyone.

I always liked Calvin's statement, "Verbing weirds language."

As for Calvin, one of his standout strips was one where he and Hobbs, dressed in 19th century western USA frontier outfits, angrily: "This town just isn't big enough fer the both of us!!!" "Yea, I recon we'll have to annex part o' the county!"

Reminds me of a classic Bugs Bunny scene:

Of years of roads and highway signs" (with apologies to Carole King and Tom Rush)

Calvin and Hobbes is one of the best comic strips of all time.

My favorite strips are when Calvin reads off the "poll numbers" to his Dad as if he is running for re-election and the ones with the snowman.
