Calvin and Hobbes

When I was little, I would ask my dad to read me the comics. He would sit in the black recliner, I would sit on his lap and then he would read me the comics. It was our little Sunday tradition. One of my favorite Sunday comics was Calvin and Hobbes. I enjoyed that Calvin had an imaginary friend and they would go on adventures together. I never really understood why it was funny until I got older. Calvin and Hobbes is hilarious! Calvin does polls of his dad meaning that he polled himself and would talk about his dad going down in the polls. He played CalvinBall with Hobbes, which basically had no rules, but somehow Calvin always lost. He used a big box as a spaceship, a superhero change area, and as a sled. He tortured his neighbor Susie, but you know it was because he had a crush on her. I think some of my love of Calvin and Hobbes came from my sister. She asked for the books for Christmas and her birthday and then when she wasn't home I would sneak into her room to read them. It was part wanting to read Calvin and Hobbes and part wanting to be a part of her life. My sister Angela is one of the most fascinating people I know. I'm posting some Calvin and Hobbes comics. Take some time to read and enjoy an old classic.

P.S. A great present for me would be The Complete Calvin and Hobbes box set.







The book this time is: Any Calvin and Hobbes Book (Bill Watterson)
