Default I love Calvin and Hobbes.



This Christmas snowmen video right here takes me back. The golden memories of reading the collection books.


This is probably the best comic strip I ever read. Bill Watterson had such a great sense of adventure and humor when it came to writing and drawing his cartoons.

One of the memorable strips from the series:






I would love to see (an Live-action, derp) an traditional hand-drawn animated film based on the comic strip, but I doubt that will ever happen unfortunately.

Why no CGI?

It wouldn't look right for an Calvin and Hobbes animation. It would fail to capture the lovable, unique art style of the strip.

I love Calvin and Hobbes as well; my father introduced me to it as a kid and I've been hooked ever since.
One of my favourite days alive involved Calvin and Hobbes and I've owned the collection series for a while now.

Favorite duo of all time right here. I still have a book tucked away in my closet. I used to keep one under my pillow so I could read it before bed. <3 The one book I own is too big to fit under my pillow.

I want this so bad. 90 bucks seems like a reasonable price for it.

Oh man I love Calvin and Hobbes. I had all the books before I moved out and I've read them like a million times. I loved how some made you think and some just made you laugh like crazy. I think there's a little Calvin in all of us. Here's some good strips:

The second one was one of my ultimate favorites too.

Totally worth it; in fact, I think it's a steal really.
If you ever come up with the money, it's a must buy any way you slice it.

While I would like to see Calvin & Hobbes in other mediums, I support Bill Watterson's integrity in not allowing that to happen. This is a man who drew a comic strip as a comic strip and never let that vision get tainted.
