Wonderful tribute to exceptional work. Thank you, Mr. Watterson, your impact is profound and good. From the page: "I always identified with Calvin as a child (I suppose you could say I still do), and this strip pretty much sums up what being a kid like Calvin is like. Constantly feeling... more

Calvin and Hobbes is the best comic ever created. Period. And this article is a wonderful read that gives only a glimpse at the wonder that Watterson created.

I think Calvin and Hobbes was the best comic as kid. Having a toy that is real because of a kids imagination. Better than Peanuts where all the kids walk around talking like mormons.

Hundreds of comic strips have been published in newspapers. The majority are terrible, and almost all the rest are mediocre. There have been maybe four or five good comic strips in the history of the world. So saying that Calvin and Hobbes is the best comic strip ever doesn't really hold a lot of weight. And it's really a shame that it's so difficult to quantify this strip's greatness. I can confidently state that Calvin and Hobbes outclasses the rest of the comic strip world more than anything else has ever outclassed the rest of its medium. Sans this strip, the industry is characterized by guys sitting on rocks making stupid puns, a Family Circus kid misunderstanding the meaning of a word, or an overweight father playing golf while telling jokes such as I LIKE GOLF and GOLF IS HARD. It's a medium that doesn't really deserve something as good as Calvin and Hobbes, but it got it anyway, and the newspaper-reading world was made a better place by it. Calvin and Hobbes ran from 1985 to 1995. Bill Watterson drew thousands of strips, and while I wish like hell that he would come back and draw more, it's probably best to reflect and be thankful for what he's done. Below we have showcased, in no particular order, some of our favorite Calvin and Hobbes strips of all time. If you love them as much as we do, let us know if you think there are any that we should have included. And if you missed out, well, hopefully we can give you some idea of why Mr. Watterson is our hero.

Bill Watterson is a creative genius. Calvin and Hobbes was the best comic strip ever. Pogo is the only comic strip I can think of that even comes close. Actually, both strips are very nearly on a par. But it's almost impossible to find reprints of Pogo. Don't ask me why. Walt Kelly died in 1973.
