Calvin and Hobbes
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.

I have the kind of job that takes me to all sorts of places around the world every now and then. Obviously my kids would like to come with me. Obviously they can't.
So instead we have an agreement: They get to select one plushie each to come with me, and I take pictures of what they're doing.
So I have pictures of them:
Every time I come home, the first thing on the agenda is to see these pictures. My kids'plushies are among the most well traveled plushies in the world.
A thought just occurred to me. If I made "passports" for them, obvously pretend, but with picture and everything, do you think customs and border agents around the world would stamp them for me? EDIT: My kids and I will be making passports for one plushie each. Let's see if they get stamped in Saudi Arabia on my next trip.
A couple of examples I found in my gallery:
This is adorable! My kids would love that. Thanks for the idea!
