Favourite Calvin and Hobbes comic

[SomeBritishDude]

What's your favourite strip about the over imaginative misunderstood Calvin and his possibly imaginary easy going friend Hobbes?

Here's mine.

This site should be useful if you haven't got one (shame on you!)

I saw this a title and instantly knew what I would post, but then saw you had beaten me to it. Well played.

I can't pick. There are far too many and so many of them are brilliant. He wrote almost one every day for ten years.

Then pick a really good one.

All of them. They're all genius stuff in their own right.

This is mine.

I couldn't find the one I wanted but it goes something like this.
Calvins dad: Honey, have you seen my glasses? I set them down to get my book and now I can't find them.
Calvins Mom: No, I haven't seen them.
*Calvin enters wearing dads glasses*
Calvin: Calvin, go outside and do something you hate. Being miserable builds character.
Then in the next panel Calvin's mom is laughing her ass of and his dad says "It wasn't that funny".

I have like 6 books nearby, there's just too many to chose from...

GoComics is improperly cataloged. I have the Calvin & Hobbes Sunday Pages collection right in front of me and the August 15th 1993 Sunday page doesn't match up from book to webpage, so I had to look elsewhere.

19 panels. Few comic artists have yet to do more than that in the allotted comic space.

I still love that first one, but this is probably the funniest strip I've ever read.

How in the world am I supposed to choose my favorite Calvin and Hobbes comic?

 

[DuctTapeJedi]

I, too, was the over-imaginative messed up kid.

It's been so long since I read them.

The Last Calvin and Hobbs:

Ruining your childhood... one pill at a time.

I was looking for that one. I'm tearing up just reading it again. It shouldn't be possible for a 'Sunday Funny' to be that soul crushingly sad.

The Ritalin one is a heartbreaking photoshoop that wasn't actually done by Bill Watterson. The 160th and final strip ran on Sunday, December 31, 1995 featuring the two of them outside.

It does however, hold a terrible mirror up to what they have done to todays youth. Labeling imagination and free will as problem behavior.

I don't have just one strip that would be my favorite, maybe one of the snowman ones, but the storyline I remember best is the baby raccoon one. It's really sad and something you really don't expect from a comic strip, like all of Calvin & Hobbes really. Another would be the REAL final comic that always leaves me with a sad smile.

 

[Baron Von Evil Satan]

ANYTHING involving Space Man Spiff!

Almost makes me teary.
