Viva Calvin and Hobbes!




Calvin: I'm a genius, but I'm a misunderstood genius.
Hobbes: What's misunderstood about you?
Calvin: Nobody thinks I'm a genius.

I've added an item to my wish list: The Complete Calvin and Hobbes

Calvin and Hobbes fans, rejoice! I just found out about this collection of all of the Calvin and Hobbes strips, and so I'm just waiting for a generous donor to drop one my way...


"That's the difference between me and the rest of the world! Happiness isn't good enough for me!I demand euphoria!" --Calvin

Calvin and Hobbes is probably one of the best loved strips...not only can kids get into it but the wry humor, sarcasm, social commentary, and quick wit appeal perhaps more to adults. And because Bill Watterson refused to let his beloved characters be turned into video games and stuffed toys, they haven't taken on the sick cheesiness of other cartoon characters.


"In my opinion, we don't devote nearly enough scientific
research to finding a cure for jerks."
--Calvin


( the last C&H comic strip, where they bid us farewell...)

Salams,
Calvin and Hobbes are hilarious! Whenever I go to the bookstores, they have the first volume lavishly laid out at your fingertips reach upon a pedestal. I never really read comics that much, but I started flipping through the volume and I could not stop laughing! Funny, yet wise...
