On this day, in 1995, Calvin and his friend, a stuffed tiger named Hobbes, toboganned off into history. This site seems to be the comprehensive archive. I hope you weren’t planning on getting anything done today.

You’re right, I did have to follow the link to the archive. I’m just glad I’m at work today.

Ah yes, Calvin & Hobbes. Good post. I have several cut out that I framed to remind me of some simple truths.
Thanks

Actually, the saddest thing in the world is a cartoon someone drew after Jim Henson’s death with Bert waking up from a dream, relieved to see Ernie, because he thought Ernie had left him forever. But, of course, Ernie (Henson) has left forever, and he recedes away from Bert as Bert calls out to him….
Tried, failed to find it online. Crying just thinking about it.

Yes, that’s funny. Thanks. I tried to pull a quote to place in this comment, but context seems to be everything. Divorced from the whole, the individual panels’ contents don’t elicit laughter. In other words: “Click Above for Funny.”

You know what this blog needs? (No, I mean aside from that. And that. Look, it was a rhetorical question.) A house cartoonist, to do funny history cartoons.

Well I have to confess that I am also a fan of Calvin and Hoppes. These cartoons show me sometimes the real truth.
