Description Hobbes is a strangely difficult character to draw... He doesn't seem like it just looking at him, but he is. Bill Watterson is magical.

I must admit, when I was younger, I didn't much care for Calvin and Hobbes, nor did I really care for newspaper comic strips. Going on 24, I still don't like comic stips all that much; however, within the last few years, I've gained a respect and love for Calvin and Hobbes. I figure they were just too intelligently written for me to really get into as a kid. The last time my ex girlfriend got me presents a couple Christmases ago, it was a bunch of Calvin and Hobbes books that I can't stop reading and re-reading.

Here's my tribute to Bill Watterson and his wondeful characters.
Thanks for looking!

of course. Zombie. And it's obvious Calvin is interested. Do you know what could happen next?

Absolutely! It's so cleverly written and beautifully drawn, I honestly think it's the best newspaper comic ever!

avidRipper [2010-01-18 06:34:08 +0000 UTC]

Ooh, this I love! I was too young for the comic strips, but my dad used to read to me and my sister straight from the books. A lot of the philosophical stuff went over my head, but Calvin's imaginary games; especially Spaceman Spiff and the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons, always sent me into an endless giggle attack. (Babble session over.)

I'm totally in love with C& H since I saw some comis strips in really old polish comic magazine, that my boyfirend kept.

I was 24 back then :> And since that day I got all books with C&H I could afford I really wish I could say to Bill Watterson how much I love him for all that joy and piece of mind that he gave me with his work

BIG FAN!

Oh and lovely pic

Huntsman97 [2008-04-11 00:54:25 +0000 UTC]

Outstanding work, Calvin and Hobbes will be a timeless comic strip, right there with Peanuts, Family Circle, and several others.

Actually have Calvin in camies with a m16 tattoo from my Marine Corps days, sketched out a leaping Hobbes for a shoulder piece jus' haven't got it yet.

MyDyingRose In reply to nykwholet [2008-03-22 19:10:53 +0000 UTC]

I'm not sure if any newspaper still runs them. Bill Watterson stopped the strip a while ago and has been producing collection books of them.

nykwholet In reply to MyDyingRose [2008-03-22 21:03:21 +0000 UTC]

Oh... They were still in the Comics Section in Hawaii a few years ago... I'll have to search around for the collections then.
