Who ruined that with a clouds filter
someone who thought it looked more [I]authentic[/I] that way
I miss Calvin and Hobbes. Maybe I should go read few strips again. Also, those two strips on the first page are fucking depressing.
[QUOTE=KaIibos;20366087]Interesting. I never knew that.[/QUOTE] If you read the comics, a great deal of them had double meanings, at the time Bill was fighting syndication, he didn't want to give the rights away so they could merchandise calvin and kill him. During this time though people made bootleg merchandise which actually helped nudge bill into finally accepting syndication. Yes i remember this comic vividly, this was my childhood, i owned everything single treasury, all of them, even the 180$ complete collection, my infatuation never ceased with the comic. To see a 6 year old logically explain life from the innocent eyes of a child mixed in with maturity was brilliant. His immaturity only added to the experienced and reminded us that he was just in fact a child with an amazing imagination that conjured up his best pal Hobbes who gave his own philosophical views. As a matter of fact Hobbes was actually named after the Philosopher Hobbes. Calvin's cynical, yet true, outlook on life gave me endless enjoyment and made me think hard about when i was just 7!
I have all of those except the Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes
I have a couple Calvin and Hobbes books. gr8 comix.
