My son still has all the C&H books he had when he was younger. Bill Watterson has to go down as one of the greatest strip writers ever.

My old Calvin and Hobbs books are now the favorites of my six-year old daughter. She giggles uncontrollably the entire time she's reading them. I love it.

When I was young, I didn't get the connection between his imagination and reality. I thought they where flipping between different instances, I still found them quite funny.

Now I find them HILARIOUS!!!

Up with Far Side as the best comics ever. T-Rex in F-14s is still my favorite.

Any idea why that site isn't displaying the comics for me?

I can't see them either. This might have something to do with it (this or browser settings):

I am a little worried, however, that the popularity of this search engine will ultimately be it's demise if Andrew McMeel Universal (who owns the rights to Calvin & Hobbes) threatens legal action against me. Hopefully I can put ads for the books in the search results, allowing people to buy the books and it will be win-win for everyone, but I can only do that if AMU agrees to it. In that case I may even be able to host the images locally and prevent traffic from crashing them again in the future. Update: Someone at AMU got in touch with me; a C&D was (is?) headed my way, but they seem open to finding a better solution, which is AWESOME. You may see some changes here in the next few days/week, but hopefully it will be in the best interest of everyone!

I loved that strip.

My favorites are the ones where Calvin's dad is trying to take his picture and Calvin keeps making faces. Priceless!
