Best comic ever. No question about it.... The crossword puzzle strip with "Yellow-bellied sapsucker" is still one of my favorites. |

Growing up my parents often said that my childhood was a lot like the strip. I used to kamakasi down steep hills in my wagon. I was also kinda reflective and observant for a kid. Now that I'm a dad it's cool to see it in my daughter.

Watterson was kinda a artsy fartsy douche, but damn was he brilliant with that strip.
His constant whining about commercialism made him sound like a hippie. |

Sometimes, cartoonists, artist and musicians will "retire" at an early age to get out of a nasty contract. There is still hope.

I remember a previous C&H thread. One of the members here had a cousin or brother in law that knew that knew Bill's nephew (or some weird connection) and had been to his home for dinner and/or drinks. He said that Bill stopped the series in the paper but picked up the pen from time to time and that he had written enough to carry on the comic for several years.....
One can only hope. |

We have like the complete three volume edition in a really nice hardcover format at my place.

Incredible comic. My favorite is Calvin on Halloween dressed as a kid who will have to deal with the financial messes left by the previous generation. And Spaceman Spiff. And the Transmorgifier. I can barely read the last page of the last book. I pretty much tear up every time. |
