You are the man. Not much content on Lemmy yet that is both high quality and reliable on a daily basis, but you're scratching that itch.
I'll probably be reading almost every post over there, as I have been here. Keep up the good work 👏

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

Thanks and happy to do it! I love both of these comics. It’s a nice trip down memory lane and it helps build our community.
Yes! I wrote a letter to Gary Larson when I was a kid, and he wrote me back. I wish I still had it.
I do too, would have been awesome to see it!
The Far Side is awesome - when this synchs to Kbin I'm totally in!
I subbed to it with my Kbin.social yesterday. Looks like it’s recognizing it. I’ll do some posts a lil later and they should show up now.
Yeah it was me, I was searching under 'local' instead of 'local & federated', I'm there now 🙂
Awesome.
I am on Kbin too. But want to join.
Yessss!
Nice. Was so sad when this ended.
Me too. Gary has been getting back at it here and there, now using a tablet to illustrate stuff, so maybe the bug will get him and do some more.
There were three formative comics in my youth: Calvin and Hobbes (C&H can be confused for Cyanide & Happiness which I love but I was a touch older then), Far Side, and Bloom County. Ack.
