Like John where you can find more, I miss Calvin and Hobbes, which in my mind tussles only with Peanuts for the title of the greatest strip cartoon ever. Look at that above - if I have to give a review, it is that it is pure brilliance.

I agree entirely about Peanuts and Calvin and Hobbes, but there was Bloom County too, and now MUTTS!

Berkeley Breathed does a Sunday-only strip with Opus, but it's not the same. Add in the weirdness of Steve Dallas as father and Opus filling various roles formerly played by Binkley and Milo and it's just not satisfying to a dyed-in-the-wool Bloom fan.
I've been threatening to buy <a href="http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/item/books-978074074847/0740748475/The+Complete+Calvin+and+Hobbes?ref=Search+Books%3a+'calvin+and+hobbes'" target="_blank">The Complete Calvin & Hobbes</a>, but I haven't managed to do it yet. It does seem a remarkably good use of $130, though.

A love of Calvin and Hobbes was one in a long list of mutual thingys that drew my wife and I together 10.5 years ago.
That and a love of Star Trek and Muay Thai Kickboxing.

I decided NOT to drag Bridget to a Muay Thai match when were in Bangkok. It was on the TV every night, though. I just watched it there. :-D

Okay, I lied about the Muay Thai. It was really a lot of nerdy things and Calvin and Hobbes..In fact yesterday we were watching a show and they used teh word transmogrify and my wife was frantically asking me if it was a real word as she thought it was just a calvanism

I had assumed it was a Calvinism, too. OED says first usage in print was 1656.
