Nice little 'Human Interest' story...

"It was like getting a letter from home," Jim Watterson says of reading his son's work each morning.
I thought that quote was really something special, something that any child would like to hear from a parent about their life's work.

I just picked up the complete Calvin and Hobbes along with the Complete Farside. Best books I've ever bought!

Calvin and Hobbes and Bloom County are my all time favorite comics. I wish they had not stopped on either one.

Calvin and Hobbes is truly inspired. I always felt sad that he stopped when he did, but in reality, it's a good thing he stopped before the strip got stale and boring.
To this day, my ship logo is "Spaceman Spiff" going down in flames with "AAAAAARRRGH" in the background.
Despite his initial brilliance, Larson should have stopped 5 years before he did: his later work is mostly uninspired and uninspiring.

He's talking about a different strip, I believe.

Best comic ever. It's a good mix of cynicism and truth

Calvin and Hobbes is classic. I've got a number of collections here, and I was thrilled to see it re-appear in the sunday comics recently.
