I had every C&H book as a kid. Now as an adult, these make me extremely depressed.

I still really love C&H. But even though I don’t have kids of my own I find myself sympathizing with Calvin’s dad more and more.

@ttyymmnn True story, I once had a clipping of Calvin with the combed hair and glasses and the "being miserable builds character!" quote as a forum avatar somewhere.

I was up till 4 last night working on a project. I've got character out the wazoo!

@ttyymmnn said in Calvin:

This is one of the C & H strips that I laughed my ass off when I first saw it. My reaction was identical to Calvins's mom...... EVERY piece by Watterson is good, but there are some that you truly savor. This is one of them.

There are a limited number of personal past times I share with both my children.

The largest ones of them are a shared love of Chvrches (the band, I've seen them 5 times, my son has seen them with me 4 times, and my daughter has seen them once with us), LEGO, and Calvin and Hobbes. My C&H books from my childhood have been passed down to my brother, my son, and now my daughter.

I tend to think of all three of these aspects as reasonable victories in life.

I still have all the books. I don't understand why they make you depressed now. Maybe something about that I acquired the books as a young adult and you got them as a kid?

@ttyymmnn score is still 2-1 dad.

@vincentmalamute Because like other comics, it's "too true" and "too close."
