I've always felt like Calvin and Hobbes was the single greatest artistic achievement of my lifetime. Hyperbole? No, that's not enough hyperbole.
The combination of hilarity and heart in the strip is unparalleled and timeless. I still read the collections frequently- They never get old.
I love it to…

@zedophile
That was SO cool…

@ George Liquor: lol. seriously, i laughed really really hard.
