As a die-hard fan of Calvin and Hobbes, I LOVED this story! Enjoy it if you haven’t already read it.
Ever Wished That Calvin and Hobbes Creator Bill Watterson Would Return to the Comics Page? Well, He Just Did.

Isn’t it cool? And the drawings Watterson did sent me back to when the highlight of the day was seeing the new comic!

I SAW that! My 12-year old daughter is fed a steady diet of Calvin and Hobbs books. She LOVES them. Reads them over and over. I’m just passing the torch.

Isn’t this cool? And will you adopt me so I don’t have to buy new copies of the books? Mine are, ummm, worn.

Sometimes, worn is better. Books, sweaters, shoes. All best when slightly used.

I heard about this! The man is legend. The comic strip is pure joy and heartache and to me, captures everything we had when we were young, and also everything we didn’t have but desperately wanted.

I’m all about the phrases, Elyse. It’s the syntax that throws me for a loop.
C&H, man, can’t wait till my kids get into that.

That was the coolest story, how cool would it be to meet someone you worshiped like that. That would be very cool. Nothing like that ever happens to me, I just meet lame people…oh except for you, I don’t worship you or anything but I like you a great deal, that is pretty cool.

But we haven’t met! I’ve met a number of famous people in my life — and I’ve ALWAYS blown the opportunity. Blog fodder.

Thank you for sharing this! I loved Calvin and Hobbes. I guess if it can’t come back as it was, just having a glimpse of his talent will have to do.

Great story. My oldest son loves both those comics. I’ll have to pass this onto him.

I was so excited to see this! How I miss Calvin and Hobbes. I still have every anthology packed away in a box somewhere. I’ll have to dig them out again and share them with my kids.

Calvin and Hobbes was/is the best. And your kids are at just the right age for starting to appreciate the comic. I think that it is designed for people of all ages, so as they grow up, they will see different angles in the same pictures!
