One line from Calvin I'll never forget.

My favorite Calvin and Hobbes Toon.

Calvins Mom sitting at the table writing checks.  Calvin standing across from her wearing a football helmet
as well as having a bedroom pillow tied across his chest.

Hobbes: What are you doing?
Calvin: I made a crash test dummy, so I can see if the hill is safe to go down.
*Calvin pushes the snowman on the toboggan off
*Both look down at the snowman
Hobbes: Ugh, I think I'm going to be sick.
Calvin: Well I wouldn't have steered like that, he deserved it!

There was NOTHING like snowman season on Calvin and Hobbes....

Agreed! Did a quick google search for C&H snowmen, absolutely hilarious. Great comics galore!

Calvins great but Farside trumps him

different animal...but all things being equal, i disagree.

far was is good.  very.  but it lacked the depth of calvin and hobbes.

there has never been an equal in it's class.

this thread is doomed.

Absolutely, I have every book as well and would probably die without rereading them.  So great.

+1, I still read Calvin and Hobbes whenever I'm sitting around my house looking for things to do. One of my favorite C&H Books is probably Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat.  :rock
