(37,573 posts)like the killer monster snow goons.
Once he was making a bunch of snowmen and Hobbes asked him what he was doing. He said "I am making effigies of all the people I hate, so I can watch them melt in the sun."
"The ones I really hate, I make small, so they will melt faster"
Hobbes looks around and says
"I didn't know you even KNEW this many people."

(6,896 posts)Very special to walk past so many originals including the last one published.
He doesnt let loose of those, much like Gary Larson, who had many originals at Steinhart/Cal Acad back when.
Any strays would bring truly insane prices on the open market.

(2,382 posts)Bill Watterson's "Calvin and Hobbes" was the best strip since Walt Kelly's "Pogo." Oops! I just gave away what an old fart I am... Whatever. I still miss Calvin and Hobbes."
