Very smart and witty writing. I think as a parent I can relate even more to all the moments Bill captures in the strip. And as an illustrator, absolutely love the expressions and animated poses he gives Calvin. The writing and drawings work beautifully together for maximum impact. Calvin and Hobbes is the best comic strip I know of. I recently started reading Calvin and Hobbes again, and found it to be even better than I remembered. Very smart and witty writing.

Even if I'd read a vast array of them and been a comics fanatic, I'm pretty sure Calvin and Hobbes would be my favorite of them all, regardless. I still read it! I like it more now as an adult, I've only grown fonder! You know if it makes you laugh out loud, it's good.

I love Calvin and Hobbis. I do disagree with news papers trying to reduce comics in the paper though. I atleast with more ads they can recoup some of the money they are loosing in excess. It's not just he internet but, where I live here near philadelphia, there is a paper called the metro that is free. They make there money from advertising completly. Now if news paper decided to put comic books in there papers seperate that might help. I have to agree. I love Calvin and Hobbis.

Has the same energy as in his linework as well as a fantastic sense of color. His watercolor technique (seen on the covers of his books) is just fabulous.
