I love that particular strip. That's is the one where Calvin uses his footprints in the snow to spell "My dad is a big...hey!" ;-)

I am personally a devotee of Pearls Before Swine and Get Fuzzy.

So am I! I also like Zits and Foxtrot.

Great find! And the comments were hilarious. Did you notice that "Britany" and "nicole" didn't "get it"? LOLOLOL!

Do a Google image search for "calvin snowmen." That's how I found them.

Definitely Foxtrot - 80% of my comic collection books are either Calvin & Hobbes or Foxtrot.

Even the title characters are an erudite reference to the cartoonist's favorite philosophers, John Calvin and John Hobbes!

I just love 'Shoe'! The characters are wonderful send-ups of the common man, expect for the Senator, if that isn't Ted Kennedy to a tee!

"Shoe" is modeled on a jouranlism professor who taught at UNC Chapel Hill, a Dr. Shoemaker. Jeff MacNally, he originator of the strip died a few years ago, but his sucessors have made it even funnier.
