Calvin & Hobbes - "it builds character" - General

I really want the Calvin & Hobbes complete, but I read that the quality is oh-not so good.

Calvin and Hobbes was the only reason I have ever read a news paper in my life.

I have all of them. These were the best comics I ever read. My favorite is the one where he plays smooth jazz insanely fast and they dance to it, but it's at 2am or something

[QUOTE=Xokiller65;30735826]Did anybody else ever read these at night in the bed as a kid with like a flashlight or something?[/QUOTE] I often stayed up past my bedtime to read these. I think I read one of the books in its entirety in one sitting in a couple of hours. Making a 3rd grader sit down and read something like this for that long is a pretty good achievement in my book. I didn't get every joke, since my vocabulary and understanding of the world wasn't nearly as complete, but it was mostly written in a easy to read, and witty manner. I remember showing these to my friends around my age, but none of them really "got" what was so good about them. I still remember one of them asking, "Why would you even read these? These are pretty dumb. Reading is for school. Lets go outside." I guess I was just way ahead of my time. :sigh:

I have a couple of the collections. I don't know where they are.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;30756368]I have a couple of the collections. I don't know where they are.[/QUOTE] I found all of mine. Its hard to believe its been about 10 years since I got these. [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14575796/Interesting/CandHcollection.JPG[/IMG] [editline]28th June 2011[/editline] I was really bored so I took this comic I scanned. [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14575796/Interesting/C%26H/001%20%28Medium%29.jpg[/IMG] And Photoshop'd all the images as a animated gif.

I fucking loved reading this, thee boondocks, and get fuzzy.

I love C&H. Been reading it my whole life. And my local newspaper has a C&H strip every day, so I'm not stopping.

I've been reading these again, thought "why not" [quote][url=http://horobox.reager.org/u/mrhippieguy_1309305306.png][img]http://horobox.reager.org/u/mrhippieguy_1309305306.png[/img][/url][/quote] and created this background. I'll give the full image an upload if anyone wants it. This comic's a massive part of my childhood.
