Wow - I did not realize how much I enjoyed or missed this comic strip until now. Kudos to the artist for capturing the spirit of the original.

There are two strips - click next to see the second.

Let's go exploring (again)!

I loved that strip. Can't believe how well those two capture the essence of C&Hs.

Well I was already to post the link that you'd been scooped by over a week, as the 1st strip was posted here on May 10th...

Then I read it again and got that warm happy fuzziness that just wiped away any snark.

Besides, because of a technicality (now there is a 2nd strip!!) this thread qualifies as 'fresh'.


Am I the only one wishing Waterson would approve of bringing this into canon and letting them release an actual collection?
I must've read Revenge of the Babysat dozens of times over the years.

Susie either must have been heavily sedated with meds to agree to that or lost a bet some where.

I thought it was just a nickname Calvin gave her, not her real name.

on another forum, a poster described a calvin and hobbes finale strip(this was around the time the strip ended) he had drawn up(he was a bit of an artist, never posted it though) where a harried 30 year old calvin comes home from work, stressedly looks at the bills on the table and all his responsibilities and then looks with resigned sadness at the old stuffed hobbes doll ona shelf as he keeps waiting to see it talk or move again. that bummed me out for nearly a week.

I still have every one of the Calvin & Hobbes books. They are worn, tattered, dog-eared from repeated readings. I still go there when I just need a little pick-me-up or a laugh. The true magic in it has been rediscovering it through the eyes of my children. They both read them just as voraciously as I did. While I miss Calvin & Hobbes, I'm glad Bill Watterson did it and ended it on his terms, so it would never be anything less than its finest.

Good point. The steady decline of Peanuts over the years was really a tragedy to watch. If you go back to the very early Peanuts strips, those were brilliant. Eventually, however, Schultz pretty much lost it and just kept shoveling out dross.
