Calvin and Hobbes is the best comic, period. They have very deep meaning too them, yet they are so funny

That's all I used to read back in H.S. instead of my textbooks. I practically memorized Calvin & Hobbes.

I like Foxtrot too, and Boondocks, with that kid that despises the Bush admin.
Still, Calvin and Hobbes wins by a long shot... I like the one where he offers a bowl of Tapioca, representing his brain, to the TV.

OMG, Calvin and Hobbes are so funny.
On my list they are the second best (second only to Garfield -- now there's a meanass. )
The meaning of life is curiosity; we were put on this planet to explore opportunities.

My father went to school with Watterson...Kenyon College in Gambier, OH. Interestingly, another great comic illustrator, Jim Borgman of the Cincinnati Enquirer, went to Kenyon as well.

Bill Watterson is a genius! The topics he tackles range from our society's biggest issues (environmental degradation, the commercialization of the mass media), to the overlooked joys of our daily lives (the beauty of friendship, the magic of the changing seasons). Most importantly, his work is always incredibly funny! Who else could have combined philosophy with humor to create such an addictive work of art?
Calvin helps us to relive our fondest childhood experiences, the memories we thought were unique to us, but are actually shared by children the world over. Combine this wonderfully-observed nostalgia with Watterson's intelligent insights into our world -- and you have the best comic strip of all time.
C & H manages to be funny as well as nostagic, melancholy, provocative, insightful, and thought-provoking. Most of all, it is an incredibly PERSONAL work. And that's what it makes it so magical!

29 SFOintern: Calvin is a precocious punk, and hobbes is equally entertaining. =) I like the strip because, to me, it represents underappreciated/misunderstood geni
