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.

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.

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

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).

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?

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. :lol:

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.

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther

- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)

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
Jessie and James, together forever!
