After having had a few of the books when I was a kid, I splashed out on the complete collection a few years back (one of those cheap high street book shops was selling it off cheap, £30 I think...). Brilliant stuff! Though the complete set weighs a tonne!
I absolutely love Calvin and Hobbes .... Its amazing! Love the strip where he finds the injured animal but it sadly dies ... Also the one where they go to a wedding and come back and the house has been broken into and he cant find Hobbes, chokes me up ha .... Got soooo many of the books and im so glad that Bill Watterson never sold out and let them destroy it with a movie

Yh its got a special feeling to it and it always makes me laugh out loud .... And some of it is actually pretty sad. And is jus amazing.

I have a lot of issues that relate to my child-hood. His cartoons seem to put everything into context somehow. I find them funny and reassuring.
