Space Man Spiff... > General Discussion

...is the funniest Calvin and Hobbes character written.

My favorite one is when Spaceman Spiff, hears the aliens talking about him, so he jumps out from around the corner and lights them up with his blaster. The next frame is his parents with company over looking at Calvin dumbfounded with suction cup darts stuck in their foreheads.

He does tend to get a little carried away with his fantasies. Imagine him nowadays, as a twentysomething.

My faves were when he was playing with his transmogrifier.

"Hi Mom, I'm an owl."
"You don't look like a very happy owl."
"Well, I can't change back to a kid in time for school. The other kids'll laugh at me."
"Oohh, poor baby, you'd better stay home today."

Calvin (doing a happy dance) "Happy days are here again..."

Hobbes tells him later that its Saturday and school's closed.

My favorite is the deer hunting humans in their "natural habitat" (an office building)

I love the snow goons.

I made many a snow goon of my own.

The snowmen killing each other and committing suicide has always been one of my favorites.

I loled when he was a tyrannosaur, and bit his mom on the ankle. Or anything he did to his babysitter. Like when he locked her out.

I always loved the morbid snowman scenes he built in the front yard.

I own every C+H compilation book you can buy. Fucking love that shit. Still makes me LOL to this day.

"What do you call this diabolical device, you twisted space fiend?"
(cut to gym teacher)
"A chin-up bar, get on"

I had a few teachers that were twisted space fiends

I had all of the books growing up. Kept them for a long time and re-read them many times. My older brother finally swiped them all. He did make up for it though by buying me this. I forgave him.
