Calvin & Hobbes
« on: December 14, 2010, 08:12:20 PM »
Have any of you ever read the comic? I absolutely love C&H (Calvin and Hobbes, AS WELL AS Cyanide and Happiness).

Calvin and Hobbes is the only comic book I liked as a kid, still love it today. For those that don't know what it is, it's basically about 8 year old Calvin with a hyperactive imagination, and his various escapades with his best friend Hobbes (a stuffed tiger).

Also, I was looking for a thread to hi-jack with this picture(see below), but reasoned I'd be better off starting my own thread.

Mine was too, but he was an outdoor cat.. Unfortunately, he didn't return one day, and we found him frozen solid in a ditch a few weeks later.

I wanted to say 6, but I wasn't sure and 8 sounded about right, considering some of the more philosophical things he says  :)

Completely different styles, though it is worth noting that Gary Larson was one of the very few cartoonists Bill Watterson held in high regard.
