I don't remember the sabbatical but I have an extremely strong memory of turning to Calvin and Hobbes' spot in the Sunday comics and being confronted by this: http://cdn1.sbnation.com/im… . Despite the title clearly being there I couldn't get past the initial panels and was outraged — Rex Morgan was a thing I…

Um, you are raising a clan of half-wits and dullards if you do not let them exercise their brains with Slylock Fox.

Yeah, the only appropriate soundtrack for this is classical music at 78 rpm.

Don't forget Monkeybone! He's fantastic at the end of that. But yeah, other than that and Undercover Brother I can't stand the guy.

Hobbes' perplexity at Mr. Bun is so damn funny. Also, this is almost assuredly the first time I heard the word "comatose."

When I was in early elementary school I'd go with my mom to the supermarket on Saturdays and sit in the books/magazines aisle while she did the shopping for an hour. One of those revolving book carousels had every Calvin and Hobbes and Far Side collection up to that point and I'd just read them every week. It was…

Oh no! Based on that photo, I'm assuming that Todd from Breaking Bad is preparing to shoot Calvin.

Also neither hyperbole or up for debate: Bats' status as bugs.

Man, "How fucking dare you" is so perfect a Wahlberg line that I'm tempted to believe it doesn't actually exist, a la "Play it again, Sam."

Oh shit son, you mess with Delaware you get The Biden.

Humanity barely survived the Happening…

Wait a minute, we can't even see the hilarious original typo by clicking through your comment history anymore? CURSE YOU, NUDISQUS!

DON'T YOU DARE EDIT THIS

The less I know about the actual provenance of that image the better, it can't be as good as whatever we make up.

Their bigger sin is somehow missing the potential title Gunns and Verreoses.

I'd rather watch a Candyland movie that was two hours of people actually playing Candyland than see Amelie again.

Thank you for that.

It's been an hour and no one has booed this? BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to both the pun and our lax standards.
