I read them some time ago and found them very funny, and somewhat insightful. The artwork was really nice too.
It's too bad they don't make comics like that anymore -- those were pretty much the only ones I really cared for. Do you think they're still popular and recognized by people?
The comic page is not the same. Loved all the snowmen he made.
and snow goons. Yes this was one of the greatest comics ever, so many classic lines that my brother and I will quote in just about any situation. Watterson, though aloof and probably a little too high on his own morals (if that is possible) was a very gifted writer and artist.
I never did understand, however, why Watterson never allowed Calvin to learn to ride his bike. I would guess that Spaceman Spiff would have had wonderful adventures using a bicycle. Maybe he was worried that people would think that Calvin was being too inattentive while riding?
When Watterson announced his retirement he did leave the door open for future books featuring Calvin and Hobbes. Every Christmas time I start scanning the bookstore to see if a new book is out (figuring that would be the most likely time he would do so). Maybe next year.
I do give him kudos for retiring Calvin before it became stale (if Shultz had not died, he would still have been cranking out Peanuts cartoons).
I no longer have a true 'favorite' comic. I will look in on Dilbert if I happen to have a newspaper in hand, but Scott Adams ran out of ideas long ago.
