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

My youngest of 4 is now 17. In all of my years of being a father, only twice did my kids wake up before me on Christmas. Most years we had too wake the kids to get the presents started.

Must be nice. Somehow the introverted night owl couple, in my case, were blessed with an extroverted morning lark.

Just another reason celebrating on Christmas Eve is superior.

Watterson gave a mathematical proof that giving gifts to kids on the night of the 24th is much better for all parties involved! 😁
