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

I'm well into my 50s and there have been two comics I have never grew tired of. Quite the contrary, the more I read them the more I love them. That is Goscinny & Uderzo Astérix (the albums they created together, not so much what came later), and Bill Watterson Calvin & Hobbes.
And in my very humble opinion, and if I have anything to say on that matter, if heaven has to be a thing I wish for it to be a Watterson comic strip.
I really need to look into Asterix again.
There is [email protected] here on Lemmy, but it's on .ee so will need to find a new home somewhere.

Nodding approvingly ;)
Egmont Finland published comics were my childhood.
They licensed a lot of Disney, but Niko and Fantasio, Yoko Tsuno, and Asterix invoke such powerful nostalgia in a way that Disney, being so huge and a current part of the cultural zeitgeist, doesn't.

So much :)
