11. best comic ever hands down
I am still mourning the day Bill Waterson retired, no one has come close to capturing the essense of our society and humanity in a comic strip. He would have been so great during these Bush years.

My kids have aquired my love of Calvin and Hobbes....really expands their vocabulary. 'mom what does homicidal psycho jungle cat mean?'

16. Agreed
Calvin and Hobbes is the best comic strip ever written. I wish it had gone on longer.

25. I used to have this
on the back of a t-shirt. The front had the navy squadron logo that I worked for. Only got to wear it on fridays. It ruffled a few feathers but the master chief was on my side. Every old veteran has war stories that is one of mine. Glad you enjoyed it.
