I was going through some really old boxes of childhood things and found my old collection of Calvin and Hobbes anthologies. I have a distinct memory of my mom taking me via bus to a bookstore to buy one of them. That was a great day. Any Calvin and Hobbes fans? BATouttaheck ? |

Calvin & Hobbes and Far Side were the top of the line when it comes to daily / Sunday comics.

Who ? Never hoid of 'em ! 
I read a sad note once-upon a time where-in it was stated that "Calvin was a neglected child, unloved by his parents, whose only friend was a tatty toy tiger." Recommended that they get a sense of humor transplant. 
but seriously (and please forgive the off-topic-ness ) …. Spooky Ghost Ackbar ...was just thinking 'bout you cuz it's been ltns and up you surfaced !  |

All I can say is the movie was horribly miscast. The Rock looks nothing like a stuffed tiger.

As I type this, if I slightly raise my head and turn it to the right, I see a framed print of Calvin and Hobbes hanging on my wall.

I was thinking too that our paths haven't crossed in a while which is why I tagged you here... I haven't been on much recently. Had a tough spring/early summer. But never fear... the Ack is back!

Calvin and Hobbes is the greatest daily comic strip of all time. That is not up for discussion.

 Like many parents before me, I had tried (and mostly failed) to pass on to my son (now in his late twenties) a number of things that I had found enjoyable when I was younger, but Calvin and Hobbes, for whatever reason, turned out to be one of the few things that he really seemed to appreciate.
