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

Mom's great. I get the sense she still has some of that childlike wonder in her like Calvin does, even if she has to be Mom too.
Like in the Yukon, Ho! arc when Mom and Dad are looking for Hobbes who's lost in the woods. She shouts his name looking for him before realizing that he can't call back.
Or another one where I forget the exact context, but she's sharing her anxieties and worries with Hobbes. Then she says something to the effect of, "You know it's got to be bad if I'm talking to you about it"
Calvin’s mom is the second best character in the comic.
Who is the third best? Calvin or Hobbes?
Hobbes, thought honestly it’s a toss up between him, mom, and dad.
Calvin’s not in the running.
Edit: I misread.
- Hobbes, mom, dad
- Suzie
- Calvin
This is one joke I didn't get, and still don't. Anybody care to explain?
