Wanted to post this but didn't want to thread drift the Far Side thread of wonderfufness.

My favorite: Teacher: "Calvin, what's the capital of Poland?"

Calvin: "Krakow!"

Teacher looks nonplussed. "That's correct Calvin."

Calvin: "Krakow! Krakow! Two direct hits!"

Least favorite is probably everyones: the last strip.

This pretty much summed up how I used to play with my toy cars, as well as I currently watch Russian dash cam videos on YouTube...

I always liked the ones with snowmen...

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Way too many choices to pick a favorite one. WAY too many.

My bedroom as a child had a Peanuts theme. My mom loved them so I loved them. For the longest time I would say Peanuts was my favorite comic strip. Charles M. Schulz died the night before his final strip was published. It will always have a special place in my heart. But a few years ago I read through every single Calvin and Hobbes strip. Bill Watterson is a genius. There is no way I could pick a single favorite. But one I often first think of when asked these kind of questions (and I don't know how I would search for this particular strip) is one that tugged at my heart strings. Calvin pushed his mom's car down the driveway and it went into a ditch. He ran away with Hobbes. This story arc carried on over several strips. His mom finally found him hiding in a tree. She was urging him to come down but he said she first had to say that she loved him. Watterson found ways to put a little touching humanity in that strip. Calvin was that precocious little troublemaker but he was still a little boy who needed his mom's affection.

Calven’s snowmen and women.

In one cartoon Calvin asks his dad where their rifles are, and the father says they don’t have any. I took that as vaguely antigun, but I was reassured by another in which Calvin recites a poem that includes the lines,

“A can of Mace, a forty-five,
“Is all I’d need to stay alive.”

That’s the one I remember the best, but picking a favorite would be impossible. The entire series was my favorite, and I was always intrigued by the two names Calvin and Hobbes. Why those two from history?

Calvin and Hobbes is one of my sweetest memories from my childhood and my most favorite comic ever written. I own every book and have read them many, many times save for the last book. I've never been able to bring myself to read it because as long as I refrain there is no end and I can hold onto that one last stitch of my childhood. Smile

I completely empathize with this. I did the same thing. I waited the longest time to read the last book because I knew there wouldn't be any more to follow. I had seen the final strip before, but still when I got to it in that last book, I was sad.

Those are all good. One of my favorites was the 4-6 day set of panels when he rolled the car into the ditch. Hobbs' line in last frame of this opening one was classic.

There are plenty of others, notably the various "dad polls," snowmen, running away from home to Canada, the broken binoculars, the cereal box propeller beanie, and so much more. Smile
