Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.

Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as "the last great newspaper comic",[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

What is are a waste of time really. If what you are doing with your free time makes you happy, that's all that's needed. Life is too short not too enjoy it as much as possible. If that means watching looney toons and drinking beer, awesome sounds like fun! Sitting in a hot bath/tub reading comics and selling champagne, that seems like fun too! Regretting what you enjoyed in the moment because it wasn't something more profound isn't healthy. Enjoy your life however you want to enjoy it.
