I own all but two. The sunday comics edition and the one where the transmogrifier is used before being refined to a telepathic gun.

No. I have neither heard of nor read this comic. Ever. I certainly haven't read it since I was able to read, and I definitely wasn't influenced by it artistically.

the creator of calvin and hobbes is another master of technobabble, very easily surpassing brian clevinger!

of course i would read every strip.

Bill Watterson is the greatest cartoonist to have ever lived. I've got every compilation book released and I'll just leave it at that.

They're releasing the anthology in October Amazon link (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0740748475/qid=1117823180/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/002-1774161-4785656?v=glance&s=books&n=507846).

Well of course I'm gonna. It's freakin' Calvin and Hobbes!

It really makes you appreciate commercialism, doesn't it?

I heard about that collection a while back. I'm gettin' it as soon as possible.
As for C&H, don't even try to question Bill Watterson's awesomeness. I wrote a biography on him as a class project once, I wrote a paper on why he was "My hero," and he inspired me to make a comic myself, wich is currently in the JellyCreations top 20.

Calvin and Hobbes is undoubtedly the greatest comic strip ever.

Love it. I've got the Tenth Anniversary (sp?) Edition, and Weirdos From Another Planet. Intend on getting the others, though. The Spaceman Spiff bits rock. The original Transmogrifier, if you're interested. (http://www.rcs.ei.tum.de/~stoffler/boink.jpg)

Calvin and Hobbes rocks. Go buy one of the books, and you'll be hooked.

For those who didn't understand, Hobbes just maimed Calvin in the last VGcats.

I know, I'm going to be horribly flamed for this, but... I don't care much for Calvin and Hobbes *loads fanboy shotgun*.
Maybe it's because it never ran in the paper in my town so I don't have the fond memories you do, I dunno. I had seen maybe one, two comics of it before, and I don't relaly care to spent 150 bucks on that big set of it.... bring it on, fanboys. *ch-chk!*

Mishioshu

06-19-2005, 11:50 PM

Those are volumes of the comic, not a cartoon. Idiot. Bill Watterson has made it clear he never wants to market anything but comics for C&H. There will never be LEGALLY MADE cartoons, T-shirts, toys...anything.
crud...yea i read it entirely because i was so surprised of seeing it in a kick ass box. Sorry i'll read things more

Yackemflaber

06-20-2005, 10:25 AM

I have all but one of the books, the coolest C&H site was closed due to copyright creeps too...and they had video games!

By the way, what happened to the comic (the vgcats one) I cant find it anymore

Im a pretty big Calvin & Hobbes fan. It really is a great comic. I have 4 books, and the anniversary collection

I have a question though for those who've seen the WHOLE comic. Does Hobbes ever call Calvin by his name? He never seems to address Calvin by saying his name...

GrrMan

07-06-2005, 01:25 AM

I believe he has... or maybe not. I need to look again.

I think Calvin and Hobbes is a pretty funny comic... but who want to know what Calvin and Hobbes are called in Norway? If you don't know it already then.

Max Cola

07-06-2005, 04:51 PM

I imagine they'd be called Calvin and Hobbes.

And yes, Hobbes has addressed Calvin by his name before. "Hey Calvin! I think I can see where your plan might fail."

That would be Martijn Reemst's fansite. It's a real shame. That was the single greatest fansite ever. It had more info than the "official" site could ever hope to have, and it was extremely well-designed. I'll bet that if Bill knew, he'd get them to restore it. :iffy:

No they are not called Calvin & Hobbes they are called Tommy & Tigern

Oy. I'm not even going to touch that one.

Well it was the "Calvin and Hobbes Resurrection site" i dont know if you are right or wrong on that one

TheEvilGingivitis

Well it was the "Calvin and Hobbes Resurrection site" i dont know if you are right or wrong on that one
Hmmm... No. They aren't the same. Both of them are linked here (http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Gallery/3023/links.html). After Martijn's site (Long hailed as the best C&H site ever) was shut down, he even kept one page of it and posted where to buy each book and the news of the collection. That's dedication, when you're still endorsing the people who shut down your brainchild.

You mean my holy grail of comics? Why I only own all the books and practially worship the paper it's drawn on. I've been in love with it since I first discovered the joy of comics. When it was being printed I drew almost constantly and after Bill Waterson and Gary Larson stopped I did too. Hopefully this will help get the pencil back in my hand.

If you dont read Calvin and Hobbes you need to hit your self :angry:

Calvin is one of the deepist of all characters ever created...Really.

and if you dont understand what i mean...you need to hit yourself again :angry:

Very nice comic. Though I know better ones.

Boy I'd like to see what Calvin becomes when he grows up.

Tyrant of the Earth.

to be honest... i think he would teach

Dip00ts

08-30-2005, 02:44 AM

my favorite strip is the one where Calvin takes a pic of Hobbes lunging at him, and when he shows his dad he says "SEE! this is what he does to me!" and its a pic of the stuffed animal hobbes. makes me laugh every time.

it would seem reasonable if he became a teacher, most teachers i know said they hated teachers and never wanted to be one.

I also LOVE the million different snowmen he can make, that kid has skills.

Maybe he becomes an artist. With his imagination he could make millions.

I remember when I used to read them. I have most books all in pretty good condition. But for the past few years, I have been slowly shifting over to Dilbert, another great comic.

Heh, I love C&H I have...lesse...I dunno, but more than 5. And just sticking 2 ideas I read togther, what if he was an art teacher? I dunno.
