Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.

Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as "the last great newspaper comic",[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

I feel like this has changed so much. When I was a kid (shit, I'm sounding old) my parents would send me outside with the rule that I had to be home when the street lights came on.

Now, I doubt many parents would suggest that their kids walk "into town" by themselves. It is perceived as being too dangerous.

LOL we are getting old. Same for me, my buddy and I would ride our bikes all day and all over the place. Sometimes traveling miles and miles, where we’d have to really push it to make it home on time.

For suburban kids growing up, having a bike was true freedom. Got up to all sorts of mischief
