What's your favorite Calvin and Hobbes strip?
The best strips are the ones where his dad fucks with him for fun.
>>78165240
All of them.

I am quite partial to the last strip.
>>78165240
Babby's first 'shop
>>78165584
And any strip that takes place in the winter.
>>78165635
This. These are all great and I'll always remember them from my childhood until I get the Alzheimer's and blow my brains out living in a run down, abusing nursing home.
>>78165240
>>78165573
>>78165584
>>78165765
>>78165867
>>78165584
yes
>>78166197
I never got this one.
>>78165240
Any of the strips where Calvin goes a little too far into one of his various "characters".
I don't have the full strip but this is probably the funniest Calvin and Hobbes moments I know of.
Any of them involving his dad fucking with him.
>>78166302
How about this, then?
>>78166320
I dont remember this one. Is it fan made?
>>78166302
His dad is just making up bullshit to mess with him.
>>78166197
>>78166302
>>78166549
But his Dad is right though.
>>78166531
Nope. It's real.
>>78166531
Looks like part of a Spaceman Spiff Sunday strip.
>>78166549
>making up bullshit
He's right though, the outside edge of the record will travel at a higher speed while still making the same number of revolutions per minute.
>>78165584
>>78166197
>>78166515
Calvin's dad is a sick son of a bitch.
>>78166531
It's part of a Sunday strip, if I recall correctly.
>>78166515
>>78166634
>>78166634
I've told children this before.
>>78166587
all of the soap-opera strips were fantastic
>>78166587
>>78166789
>>78166549
No, no, that's accurate. The outside is moving "faster" than the inside.
Thanks to centripetal motion, the outside is actually experiencing more force than the inside, causing the difference in speed.
>>78166825
>Let's hope it's a divorce!
Every time.
>>78166587
Oh Hobbes, you card
>>78166825
They should have called Calvin and Susies kid Jeffrey in that fan-fiction web comic someone did.
>>78165240
Anyone have the strip of
>You can't come in my tree house Suzie, no girls allowed!
>What makes you think I would want to go up there in the first place!?
>Pauses*
>Leave it to a girl to take the fun out of a sex discrimination.
That one's a fucking classic.
>>78166302
The final panel, he's trying to figure out how that's even possible and it's fucking with his head.
>>78166825
I don't know why but this one always gets me. Imagining Calvin doing some bumbly grown-up voice is great and the mom's reaction is hilarious
>>78165584
Strips like this show you where Calvin got his mischievous side from.
>>78167174
I posted that one up on my parents' fridge when I was a kid.
My dad and I always loved reading those strips together. Calvin's dad looks a lot like my dad, and he's also sarcastic and cynical, so it fit really well.
>>78166549
Fuck you educational system!
we can all agree that Calvin & Hobbes is the greatest comic strip ever created, right? There's not really any argument on that front, yeah?
>>78167259
>calvin's dad looks a lot like my dad
hey, mine too. He also loved biking.
>>78167276
Without a doubt.
>>78167289
What's up with Calvin's eyes? They're like glowing blue.
>>78167289
There are few things I hate more than Calvin and Hobbes fan comics. They are always and withouy exception terrible and the artist tries to make them either about Calvin growing up which just feels dirty, or about their "special connection" with the strip, which is usually bullshit.
>>78167382
>Spice...
>>78167111
My Grandmother has lupus, and when they told me I almost started laughing. I feel terrible.
>>78167289
>>78167425
Good end edit.
>>78167174
>Mom's reaction
>pretty much how I react to the crazy shit my friend's kids do.
>>78165584
My father played monster games like this with my brother and I. We also had a big red plastic bat. We would try to barricade ourselves(in a room, or behind the sofa), but his arm would reach where ever we were hiding.
My brother would take the bat and just slam it on Dad's arm until he went away.
Years later we talked about this, and how strong Dad was, and the fun we had. Turned out Dad thought my brother would tire out, but he just wouldn't fucking stop. It hurt like hell.
>>78167289
A reminder that this comic was taken down from DA as child porn because it is based on characters that once where children. Them the artist made a version with two elderly people claiming they were never kids and just appeared in the world as old people.
>>78167289
Muad'dib! Muad'dib!
>>78167425
I like Bacon
>>78167517
And Bleedman is allowed to exist...
No consistency, nor integrity.
>>78167580
>Donald Trump is in my closet.
When was this written? Is the guy who wrote this a prophet or something?
>>78167602
Welcome to the moralist world.
My fav is the one where he takes some snow to show in the class.
>>78167642
>>78167664
It was published in 2011
>>78167111
Oh shit, I remember making that one a long time ago.
>>78167174
One of the few times (if not the only time) Calvin's mom gets to laugh in the comic. A well-deserved break for her.
>>78167664
You know Trump has been famous for decades, right?
>>78167717
I want kids so bad. Dammed system that makes people take longer and longer to form a family if you want to do things properly!
>>78167780
Yeah, but he didn't became the boogeyman until some time ago, right?
>>78167838
No, he's been one for ages. Being a loud, obnoxious douchebag who throws his moneybags around his been his thing since the early 80's
PSA: This comic is the best successor to Calvin and Hobbes I'm aware of. Check it out.

>>78168267
Looks like tumblr shit
>>78167798
If only you could have the financial stability of a 30-something and the back of a 20-something, eh?
>>78167838
Did you ever read Bloom County? Trump was being made fun of as far back in the late 80's.
>>78168401
It's in real newspapers, so, uh, if you say so.
>>78166302
>>78166197
I never got how his dad isn't right.
>>78168401
Literally the new MLP I know right?
>>78168845
Don't they teach that in high school in your country?
For most of my childhoos Calvin's winter strips made me wish I didn't live in tropical paradise.
>>78168845
>>78166601
Are you legit autistic?
>>78167789
honestly, smart aleck kids, while exasperating, are still one of the best parts of my day
>>78165867
This one is just legitimately painful to read. "Let's go exploring..." there's absolutely no closure to a comic that was such a wonderful run.
It's like watching the first dog you ever owned bark at you and smile before disappearing into the woods forever.
>>78170936
It doesn't really need closure, though. This was the most fitting end the strip could've had, showing that Calvin's life and adventures go on and ending on a positive note and reminding the reader that there are other things out there to see and experience.
>>78167838
Biff in back to the future part II was based on him, and that movie came out in 1989
>>78165867
this is the last comic Bill made of Calvin & Hobbes?>>78170936
>>78170936
it's a fairly standard "And the Adventure Continues" ending, anon
>>78171058
Yeah
>>78166587
>Here's a mallet. Do you want anesthesia?
>Wh-That's to test reflexes!
Lol, I love how real Watterson makes the dialogue
>still no picture of him in years
>>78166197
Physics is fun. I remember when I found this out.
>>78171276
I kind of like it better that way, authors as faceless entities is kind of preferable to me, there's their work and nothing but.
>>78171122
Does it? I mean, the Justice League cartoon did the same thing, and I never thought their ending was unfulfilling. I... I don't know. I don't know how the comic could've ended properly. Maybe it's because there's something intangibly sobering about watching an excited child running off into a snowy wilderness and never being seen again. Maybe it's just the inherent open-endedness of it all.
All I know is that this ending's always disagreed with me on some sad, subconscious level.
I remember when I bought the full Calvin and Hobbes collection books, the big hardcover ones with color pages. Must have been like 9 or 10. Blew through them like a crazy, and had a lot of chuckles and giggle, but the fuckingTransmogrification Machinestoryline literally had me rolling on the fucking floor laughing for ten minutes after every strip. I still can't read it without giggling like an idiot. Fucking panel 3 always gets me.
>>78171276
I like Waterson's iron grip on Calvin and Hobbes and his preference to be left alone. Its much better then him whoring it out or using it as a vehicle to get famous. He's a bigger man then most artists.
when he fucked with the babysitter and made her life hell those were the GOAT
>>78165240
I've always loved the strips where Watterson got to show off his artistic skills, or mixed styles. This, the Spaceman Spiff strips, Chaser Bullet, the deer hunter strip, all of them. Of course I also have a soft spot for whenever Stupendous Man showed up.
>>78171365
Also these! Any time the Transmogrifier/Cloning Machinepopped up was comedic gold.
>>78171412
Even as a kid I liked that he actually had to apologize to her after and was explained why that is an absolutely terrible idea that could very well have gotten him seriously hurt.
>>78171491
I love his dinosaurs. I think he did too.
>>78167259
>>78167309
Mine too.
>>78165584
Phrasing!
Someone remind me when this particular strip was originally published?
>>78171788
In 1993
I love the lines he says as Tracer Bullet
>>78165240
The one with the shoes and snow boots.
That or the incredibly contrived incidental disaster playset.
>>78172013
Tracer Bullet is one of my favorite alter egos.
>>78172933
>>78165240
I don't have one. I honestly never cared much for this comic, no matter how triggered doughy 30-something millennials get over "muh CHILDHOOD" and how DEEP calvin's philosophizing is.
>>78173366
That's nice, but wouldn't it have been easier to keep that to yourself?
>>78173627
he has to let us know he's better than us

Good. The more I know about the people that make the things I like, the more the magic dies. Social media has been too effective in exposing the people behind our favorite cartoons/comics/shows to all too often be petulent children, mentally unstable, petty, ignorant, or generally obnoxious fuckers.
Watterson traded what could have been endless riches to retain ownership of his vision, and his privacy. I could only hope to have the stones to do what he did if I were given a similar opportunity in life. I hope he is genuinely happy doing what makes him happy, because C&H still makes me happy to this day.
>>78173366
>muh buzzwords
Nice try, shitposter
>>78167508
Cut it off after the fourth panel with "Well... This is me"
Then skip to the 6th panel with "I've made a terrible mistake"
>>78166953
Here
>>78168544
And them you reach stability but you are divided between finally making a family or dedicating yourself to work some more so you can get a better pay for your future kid.
>>78170824
As someone who grew up in a tropical country and now is in an temperate country having his first real winter I say that snow is much better than the heavy rain we get in tropical countries. Under heave snow you can put some clothes and don't get cold. In my country nothing protects you from heavy rain. The wind makes an umbrella pointless, the more clothes you have the more soaked you get so either you get soaked (that can sucks if it is 10°C or lower) or you put a rain coat that will become a greenhouse full of condensed water.
I love snow.

Pop culture's one hell of a drug.

Not today.
