Does anybody know where I can find the complete Calvin and Hobbes collection online?
I just love Calvin and Hobbes. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside 
**Calvin: What is 7 plus 3?
Hobbes: 73**
What are your favorites?
The part I’ll enjoy most is crushing people who get in my way.
Well worth the money!
It was a bit more expensive when I bought it, but yes, I love my complete collection being in leatherbound hardback. I shoulda done Calvin’s Dad proud by buying it with cash so it could never be traced
There used to be a free Calvin and Hobbes site with the strips, then it went pay, now it seems to have disappeared altogether.
There’s a Calvin and Hobbes archive here that I assume is complete, but you have to sign up with their site (which I’m guessing costs money) to go back more than 14 days.
Actually, you can read as many as you want for free if you use some basic JavaScript to remove the black box it puts in front of the comic . . . but I don’t really feel comfortable handing out instructions on how to undermine their business model, no matter how stupidly they implemented it.
I got mine for free from using bonus points from QPBC! I think they then changed their bonus points system as a response!
Calvin stands at the bus stop talking to himself.
*Panel 1: *“I’m sick of everyone telling me what to do all the time! I hate my life! I hate everything! I wish I was DEAD!”
*Panel 2: *[He thinks about what he’s just said] “Well, no I don’t. Not really.”
*Panel 3: *[With an angry sneer] “I wish everyone ELSE was dead.”
I still have a soft spot for “THE LIVING DEAD DON’T NEED TO DO WORD PROBLEMS!”
Every snowman strip was my absolute favorite.
C: “This is so cool!”
H: "This is so stupid!
Strangely I ran across this article this morning about a guy trying to write a Bill Watterson biography after reading your thread.
My 7 (then 6) year old daughter made her way through all the Calvin and Hobbes books I have. She doesn’t quite get the Far Side yet but she loves Calvin and Hobbes.
[Hijack] What I want is a complete Wizard of Id for my husband. I’ve looked, and there doesn’t seem to ever have been one, just a few small paperbacks.
The sequence that had me rolling on the floor when I first read it was Clavin getting his school photo taken.
“Astro-Boy!”
“What? Don’t take off your shirt, kid!”
The Wizard of Id is still running, so there’s no such thing as “complete.” Plus, the strip’s been going for over 45 years now, so a complete collection would fill many volumes the size of the C&H one!
Your link isn’t working for me Rafe.
This my favorite strip despite not being real (make sure to click on the image also).
THANK YOU!!! I’ve been hideously depressed ever since someone posted that fake one in another thread. I love the coda.
1: Calvin steps outside on a bitterly cold day.
2: Calvin’s face screws up into a painful expression
3: “Don’t you hate it when your boogers freeze?”
The thing about Calvin and Hobbes was that, like its protagonists, it straddled two worlds. A world-weary cynicism about human nature was married to a childlike appreciation for the absurd – and a childlike enthusiasm that counterbalanced Watterson’s sardonic view of adult human nature. When Calvin was excited about something, he was all the way excited, pure little kid.
