Truly a comic great. I think I've read every single Calvin and Hobbes strip, and I still find them instances of utter brilliance.

There is a comic who has superceded Bil Watterson's genius. However, his work is not suitable for families. The first strip (which is family friendly, but not particularly funny on its own) can be found here. I must warn forum readers; Achewood is frequently and generally not family-friendly fare. However, if one reads it from the beginning (i.e. my first link), which is almost required to truly become a fan of this strip, and one is an adult, able to put comic vulgarity and/or obscenity into context, one will realize that this strip shows the same utter brilliance and artistic commentary that made C&H so beloved.

To each his own.

Garbage, in my opinion.

That sounds just about as opposite to Calvin and Hobbes as anything could possibly be. The great joy of C&H is that it is like the simple faith of a child ...

I went to your link. Read a couple dozen from the beginning. Checked out a couple other story arcs from a couple years of the strip.

Worst. Strip. Ever. P. U.
