Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.

Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as "the last great newspaper comic",[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

When I was 10, I sat down to write what I intended to be my first novel. Originally, it was titled “17 Years”, but then I changed it to be “12 Years” because I figured I’d be finished with it around age 12 and by then, I’d know what it was like to have lived for 12 years.

Calvin’s got a fair argument here.

No. I realized after about 100 handwritten pages that it was a stupid idea. The next year, however, I started on a slightly less stupid novel that I finished four years later when I was 15. ☺️
