I post these at Haven and another board I frequent. Figured I might as well start here, too.

A welcome addition from our smaller sister forum over at Haven!

My all-time favourite.

Mm hmm, Calvin & Hobbes is great. All of them were basically slam-dunk humor.

Still have fond memories of reading C&H every Sunday morning, along with The Far Side, Bloom County, Doonsebury (with his gigantic sandwiches), Garfield, and of course Peanuts.

Ha ha

Man I used to love Calvin and Hobbes when I was a kid! I had The Essential Calivin and Hobbes, Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat, and The Days Are Just Packed collection books. I remember one where Calvin is shoveling snow from the drive way, terribly, and he says with a big grin, “Sometimes if you so the job bad enough, you don’t get asked to do it again.”. Good stuff!

Oh yeah, there's the bully kid. Think his name is Moe?

I totally forgot how Hobbes worked until yesterday. He was a stuffed animal whenever adults were around but from Calvin's perspective he was a walking, talking tiger. Heh, Calvin had a Khajiit basically.

I like them all but that one about the newspaper cracked me up this morning pretty good!

Ha ha two bucks. I can't remember if $2 was a lot in the '80s for us kids. I seem to remember getting more than that for chores.

Calvin and Hobbes are as great now as they've ever been

Ah, poor Calvin, he's about to learn that "many" does not mean "all".

Yeah, I remember that day in 4rd grade when the girls pinned me against the school wall and tried to kiss me. Cost me my lunch money for a month but it was worth it.

Turns out, you could have simply busted a lip and saved your lunch money.

Bicycle helmets! In that one set of frames up above, the dad is wearing a bicycle helmet. See, those didn't become popular until the '80s. During the '70s (which was my early childhood) we all rode around without them; me and my pack of friends would pretend to be Evel Kenevel too, doing stupid stuff on our bikes. Amazing to think of that now!

So yeah, it may not seem like it now, but seeing the dad wearing a helmet was a new thing back then. I think there may even be a Calvin & Hobbes in which they discussed helmets somehow.

Sound bites, not sound bytes. Hmm. Google says either spelling is correct.

I wonder; did i grow being deprived of knowing how much fun I was having or was I having too much fun to care?

When picking a chewing gum is the most important thing in your life.


Ahh, the simplicity of being a kid
