In my own personal opinon, yes.
It had a depth and a soul that elevated it above just being a one dimensional joke factory like so many others and it just gets funnier each time I read one, those jokes represent my childhood and I look back on them with warm feelings in my heart.

Once I finally get qualified and get a teaching job this will be my first big purchase...

Calvin and Hobbes is one of my most loved comics to this day. Unfortunately, I was born a month after it ended and my parents didn't save any of the newspaper strips. I would have loved to have the last Sunday page comic hanging in my room.
But thats what the treasury books are for!

Best comic ever. I grew up on Calvin and Hobbes and can still enjoy looking back at it 15 years later.
Yeah, I love Calvin and Hobbes. While its sad it isn't being made anymore I am glad it that it maintained its high quality during its run.
The only thing I have really enjoyed since then was the short lived Perry Bible Fellowship. Surely I'm not the only one?

I actually love the Calvin and Hobbes strips, there was one I recognized my sunday->monday nights in, where Calvin tries to sleep, and just when he falls asleep, he fets waken up and must prepare for school, then falls asleep again. It is my everyday life. xD
But there's one strip I like more:
And I've taken the liberty to translate it into englsih:
#1 Pondus presents:
Why men shouldn't talk about feelings!
#2 The man's center of feelings are preotected by smnall, electromagnetic microbes called Crutons.
#3 These is released when the man tries to get in contact ith his feelings.
[SUB]And what he says is "I... I... lov..."[/SUB]
#4 In 84% of these situations, the man's head will explode.
#5 And the whole thing ends in screaming.
I couldn't find any of the really good ones on the net..

Yes it is, it's my favourite comic strip.
I love The Far Side and Dilbert very much as well, both are utterly fantastic. However, C&H just edges out Larson and Adams' strips because it has heart. Not every strip is there just to make a joke, and that's what's so wonderful about it.

Indeed. In addition to the depressing strip that I posted, I also have this uplifting one (although its not a strip really, but great all the same):The_root_of_all_evil said:
Calvin and Hobbes rule.
I also forgot to mention that Bill Watterson changed the size of sunday comic strip sizes forever, its really awesome to know that he did two revolutionary things (Create Calvin and Hobbes, and go against the sizes of sunday strips)willman137 said:
