Amazing.


I literally can't even put into words how much Calvin and Hobbes means to me.


EDIT: Damnit I had a typo in Hobbes on the thread title, and its really making me mad. Sorry Hobbes

best. comic. evAr.

i read about this compendium in playboy just this morning while on the terlit, i think my 11 collection books cover the whole series, but i'll definitely pick this up. i spent my childhood reading them, starting in probably 1986. whoa.

 

[NAD]

Weirdos From Another Planet!
Scientific Progress Goes "Boink"
The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes
The Days are Just Packed
It's A Magical World
Calvin and Hobbes: Sunday Pages 1985-1995
The Complete Calvin and Hobbes

these are the ones i'm missing, and only 4 of them are necessary to have the complete collection (except one strip, thanks wikipedia). since they are only $10 each i'll probably go that route.

You will once you finish designing the Genesis of Spring logo, though.

Yeah, greatest comic ever without doubt. I hear this box set weighs something like 30lb.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

That would be so nice, maybe sometime this summer when I actually have time to sit down and read them all.

I have quite a few of the books but that would certainly be a centerpiece of any personal library.

my books from left to right would be something like, George R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire set, Black's Law Dictionary, Calvin and Hobbes compendium, Grey's Anatomy.

C&H seriously should be in any Top watever list of writen material ever. Its so amazing. Like I said, I literally can't put into words the feelings it gives me to read it. And the feelings change throughout my history of reading it. From when I first started as a little kid, then as I grew up. Now that I've read almost all of them, each time I re-read a certain strip or story line I feel somthing different, nothing I can really put my finger on but it is a certain feeling of memory, nostalgia, happiness, saddness, meloncholy...nothing else gives me the same feeling.

there are few problems which can't be made better by Calvin and Hobbes OR the Three Stooges.

Ditto. I started reading the comic when I was 5, in 1991 (yes, I could read the actual text, I didn't just look at the drawings), and I've been a fan ever since. I think I've got all the books and most of the comic books released in Norway.

Hobbes is real.

I'm sure that goes without saying...

 

[lizard]

every one of us has an inner Hobbes, or at least, those of us with a mind.

C&H makes for excellent terlit material, along with my Collector's Guide to Heavy Metal.

 

[NAD]

the bathroom is the only place i ever read playboy (anywhere else, and i'm "reading" it ), car and driver, and old comic collections like far side, dilbert, mad, and calvin and hobbes.

i don't read actual books on the terlit though, that's for the couch, my patio, or sitting on a tree in the middle of the forest.

[Demonspell]

Reading any sort of fiction on the toilet is an exercise in futility. On the rare occasions when I do read while shitting, it's usually a newspaper...
