CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

i've checked this site and i've seen absolutely no topics on this insanely brilliant, extremely hilarious, and amazingly imaginative comic series . CALVIN AND HOBBES!!!! i mean. come ON. this is THE comic. calvin. the unheard of boy genius. hobbes. the fantasy friend that gives this comic series so much charm. and all the other great characters. this series is so awesome. and i was so sad when they ended it. so, is there anyone else who loves calvin and hobbes besides me? i sure hope so.

It is definately THE greatest american comic.

"Describe Newton's second law in your own words"

"Yakka foob mog Grug pubba wub Zink Watoom Chumble Spuzz Gazork"

I absolutely adore Calvin and Hobbes. My folks have a couple of the books, and I love to read through them and laugh my face off.

Calvin: *playing Spaceman Spiff* Krak-ow! Krak-ow!
Susie: Calvin, what is the capital of Poland?
Calvin: *still playing Spaceman Spiff* Krak-ow! Krak-ow!
Susie: Thanks, Calvin.

XDDD

I have loved the Calvin and Hobbes comics for years, I even dressed up as Stupendious Man for halloween, though my costume was because my mom thought that with the little points on the cowl that it looked to evil in red.

In other random news CAA podcast 3 has a blatant Calvin and Hobbes reference for those who know the comic a little.

I LOVE CALVIN AND HOBBES!!!!!!!!!!! Hobbes is soo cute! XD

Why do you think I've temporarily chosen Spaceman Spiff as my avatar? Could it be I'm a Calvin fan too?

The comic that made ADD popular!

i'm glad to know that there are other Calvin and Hobbes fans out there besides me (and rocklobster ).

I <3 Calvin and Hobbes!

I don't hold a high opinion of American comics in general (compared to European comics and Japanese manga) but Calvin and Hobbes is awesome. The cream of the crop! (Best humour comic).

My ranking of the funnies would be:

1.Peanuts
2.Blondie
3.Calvin & Hobbes
4.Luann
5.Beetle Bailey
6.Hi & Lois
7.The Far Side
8.B.C.
9.Hagar The Horrible
10.Sally Forth

i know, we're getting rather off topic but oh well. here are my tops:

1. Calvin and Hobbes
2. Zits
3. Foxtrot
4. Beetle Bailey
5. Baby Blues
6. Peanuts

1. Calvin & Hobbes
2. The Far Side
3. Dilbert

Yes, I love C&H, best comic strip ever. I have the three volume hardcover edition with every strip, because it is awesome.

WHOA! every single calvin and hobbes comic strip. i only have the essential, authorative, and indispensable calvin and hobbes. and then, i have "there's treasure everywhere".

Does the fact that I've never really read Calvin and Hobbes make me...un-American? XD

Anyways, my top 5 favorite comic strips would be

1. The Far Side
2. Dilbert
3. Fox Trot
4. Peanuts
5. Luann

I have all those, the Lazy Sunday book, Killer Weirdos From Outer Space, Revenge of the Baby-sat, and Yukon Ho!

I think the hardcover Calvin and Hobbes is still out.

I want to get it and the The Far Side book that has every Far Side comic in it.

killer weirdos from outer space?...i think you might've mixed up "weirdos from another planet" with "the attack of the deranged, mutant, killer, monster snow goons".

Yeah, you're right...I meant Weirdos From Another Planet. XD;;

So easy to get them confused XD

As for me, I'd probably say C&H is at the top of my list too, followed closely by Sherman's Lagoon, then The Far Side.

I grew up with Peanuts which is why I rank it higher than Calvin & Hobbes.I should have added Dennis The Menace,another one that I grew up with,to the list.In many ways Calvin is a modernized version of Dennis but a Dennis with ADD.Could you see the problems the poor Wilsons would have if Calvin lived next to them instead of Dennis?

oh man. that would be HILARIOUS . anyways, what are your favorite parts in the comic?...i said that wrong. i mean, what's your favorite story(ies) in calvin and hobbes. mine would have to be the camping trips. those are hilarious. and something disastrous happens every single time they go camping. it's so funny.

Calvin and Hobbes added a depth to the comic pages that hadn't been seen in years. Beautiful art, especially the imaginary sequences, lots of deep thoughts Calvin "Do you believe in the devil, someone dedicated to driving man to evil" Hobbes "I'm not sure man needs the help" (not exact quotes) the wide variety of secnarios, real and imagined, camping, school outer space, back in time, ect. Bill Watterson is a genius, and it is a crying shame that his fights with the syndicates over artists rights and his own high expectations of his own work burned him out so quickly.

Adding to the fave lists (order varies on mood)
Zits, Calvin and Hobbes, Foxtrot, Peanuts, Get Fuzzy

There were several of my favorite arcs; I liked "Calvinball", the one where Hobbes is put in the dryer, just about any of the strips involving Suzy, and my favorite was his cardboard box of science and doom.

I wish Calvinball was for real.

No need. If you've read any of the books, you already know how to play it .

The only comic to be named for a French Reformer and an English Philosopher.

Really?

You checked the site? How? I did a search on "Calvin Hobbes" and it returned 41 results.

So I entered the exact same title you did and clicked "check for existing topics" and that came back positive.


Out of curiosity, what rubric are you using to "check this site" that returned no results. I might need to set the site up to better accomodate user searches. The site must only be set up such that google can find it (google for "site:http://www.christiananime.net calvin hobbes" without the quotes, if you're curious).

i simply went to "New Thread" and in the title box, i typed, Calvin and Hobbes, and clicked on the box to the right that said "check for existing topics". only one thread came up and it only contained a reply having to do with calvin and hobbes. the main idea of the thread had nothing much to do with calvin and hobbes.

Calvin and Hobbes is the "Seinfeld" of American Comic strips. Pure genuis. My Dad bought me the hardbound collection for christmas last year and I recently finished reading it all. There are so many things in the series that I never caught when I was younger, so many layers. It's awesome.

Calvin: I used to hate writing assignments, but now I enjoy them. I realized that the purpose of writing is to inflate weak ideas, obscure poor reasoning, and inhibit clarity. With a little practice, writing can be an intimidating and impenetrable fog! Want to see my book report?
Hobbes: "The Dynamics of Interbeing and Monological Imperatives in "Dick and Jane": a Study of Psychic Transrelational Gender Modes"
Calvin: Academia here I come!

Best strip ever! I seriously considered printing a copy of this off and carrying it around with me at college.

And do do my top rankings of American Comic strips...

1. Garfield
2. Calvin and Hobbes
3. Fox Trot
4. Zits
5. The Farside
