From the 'you're it' thread:' (and also all the threads lately which include remarks about how much everyone either loves or hates the snow)
Would love to have a compilation of ALL of the snow related C&H strips. They're funnier than all of the rest combined.

That's a pretty good chunk of 'em. Missing a few though... "He knows I hate this" :D
(I think I've spent more time reading Calvin & Hobbes throughout my life than anything else. Some of my earliest memories of my grandfather involve sitting on his lap, having him read "The Lazy Sunday Book" to me :) )

thank you both
fng saved for posterity.
though it is missing a few important ones, like when Calvin makes a ton of little ones, then atacks them viewed as a tyrannosaurs rex, and the whole 2 headed snow monster series.
:D
:aok

He's definately up there... Another genius. Even Bill Watterson was a fan (and he's not exactly one to like every comic out there... I think he said Larson and Troudeau were the two modern day cartoonists he enjoyed the most).

I have all the cartoon books, he's a very gifted artist.
If you read up on the cartoonist, he quite primarily because he felt "boxed in" at the size he was limited to in his comic strips. Good read about him on Wiki and elsewhere.

Having drawn (very poorly) a comic strip for my college newspaper for awhile, I am completely amazed at how he managed to pull off everything that he did. Especially with the tools he used (finer technical pens are hard enough to get the hang of, I can't imagine getting that sort of detail on such a small scale with a sable brush).
The thing I really admire about Watterson is that he looked at his work as "art" rather than "product." There are not an awful lot of people who are willing to do more work for less money the way he did.
(And for those of you who don't think it's "work," try it for awhile. Putting out just one a week can be tedious... I can't imagine drawing 3-4 a day).

ROFL again! snowman x-ing... LOL
The one I didn't see was the shark & the snowman trying to frantically swim away.

I don't need to read any more Calvin & Hobbes. I have a son (Sam) who is Calvin incarnate. Seriously. Even looks like him, just doesn't have a Hobbes.
