In reply to the discussion: 24 Years Ago Today; Bill Watterson publishes the last Calvin and Hobbes comic strip [View all]Docreed2003
(16,858 posts)38. I so miss that strip
When I was a child, my grandfather would always open the Sunday newspaper and grab the comics. He said he was reading the "intellectual portion" of the news first. So at a young age, I gravitated towards the comics as well.
"Calvin and Hobbes" was always my favorite strip, still is. That last strip came out two months before I turned 18. I felt like I was losing my own childhood and an old friend. The memories of reading those comics will always last and for that I'm thankful. I'm also thankful for how the "C&H"'s comic still teach me lessons as an adult!

Thanks - that looks like a good series. I think C&H would approve (if not the joneses.)

a call back to the famous POGO comic strip "We have met the enemy, and they is us."

I can only say this. Watterson is hunkered down into his reclusive self. He does not care that
