Calvin and Hobbes Fans?

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

Lol, haven't read the books, but I like the comic...though I wouldn't go so far as to say it's exactly how a six year old thinks. It's written to be kid-ish, but also to appeal to all ages, which I think sometimes includes some more advanced thought...

The "how a six year old thinks" was just a joke. I understand that majority children don't think or act like him

Even though I'm a girl, I LOVE C&H. I literally laugh out loud while reading them. I only have 2 books of them though.

PF, where did you get the comics from? I'd like to post my favorite one. :D

What does being a girl have to do with it? Anyway, I'm a big fan. My family owns the complete collection.

My brother-in-law is a huge fan so we bought two books for him for Christmas one year and before giving them to him we read them and begged mom to keep them. She said no :(

She left many of us behind. She left us heartbroken. And though we cry now there'll come a time when we'll laugh. Because we'll see her again someday. We'll be with her in heaven. And when we go to heaven she'll be there to greet us. She'll be there to say "Welcome home." -From a poem that SnC wrote about her grandmother

Calvin and Hobbes is the BEST. Truly, I don't know a single person who doesn't like that comic. Didja know that Calvin's father is Dennis the Menace, all grown up?

I wondered why it made no sense and didn't sound like a Calvin and Hobbes strip... :P

I love Calvin and Hobbes - although I haven't read it in awhile. My older brother owns a couple of the books, and they were so funny. \:D/

I like Calvin and Hobbes, but you do realize Calvin and Hobbes is a giant allusion?
