I preferred his daily strips though.

this is one from of the funniest strips. i love those ones where watterson does (what he declares to be) lame marvel rip offs, they are so silly. also into the poantheon of greatness- the one where he starts seeling homemade lemonade for $5 a glass, and as Mark S noted, every single one that involved snowmen or sculpture in snow. esp the modern art ones. kinda obvious but they hurt my sides, sort of....

Your right, though, Outland kinda petered out.

Favorite C&H strips? I love the one drawn up in 50s film noir involving Calvin and Susie, when they're playing house, and Calvin's character, puffing a pipe, longs for a divorce and rejects their "baby" (a plush pg, if I remember). I also like the one where Calvin scuplts his parents an ashtray, and Hobbes points out that Calbvin's parents don't smoke, and Calvin shouts "OK, Michaelangelo, YOU sculpt something!!" But of course, it's all in the drawings. I can't do any of them justice.
Favorite snowman strip is when Calvin gathers a crowd of horrified onlooking snowmen gasping at the sight of a dismembered snowman lying at the foot of his father's parked car. Calvin's dad: "I think we better get that kid to a psychiatrist."

And for going on 10 years now, the only thing that has continually gotten me close to crying is the last strip. The emptyness of the last panel just opens a hole in my heart like nothing else.

If you say "dud" you have no soul.
And remember, at midnight opposite day is over, right?
"Yes."
Calvin and Hobbes fans, feast your eyes on this!!

Sadly, I have to buy this. This is not going to be optional, even though I also have the individual books. CURSES.

Bloom County appealed to my sense of the bizarre, a weird-take on pop culture at its best and just B.Breathed losing his mind at its worst.
I always liked Peanuts but it wasn’t really for kids, was it? I imagine you have to be middle aged to really GET that strip.

I must disagree, especially since you can say that just as much about Calvin and Hobbes in terms of the convoluted jokes and references. Both strips work astoundingly well for different ages -- the 3 year old Peanuts fan that is now the 34 year old one sez this, so it must be true. ;-)
