(9,897 posts)20. My all-time favorite strip by far...
I was devastated when it went away for good, and in fact I shortly after stopped even reading the comics sections in the newspaper...sadly, the entire newspaper itself is gone from my life as I get all of my news and local information from the internet now. I see Calvin and Hobbes stuff every once in a while though and it always brings me a warm nostalgia of a bygone era.
Thanks for posting the picture!
