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

Hamster Huey shows up in at least a half-dozen strips. It even has a sequel!

Nice collection! That was most of the ones I was thinking of. But wasn't there one where the mom tells the dad "Oh, but you look so cute doing the 'happy hamster hop!'"? Think he was grumbling to her about reading it again. "I don't want to look cute!"

Ah, that's right - was thinking it was a weekday comic! Probably why it wasn't indexed - it was part of the "throwaway" bit at the top.
