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

This ran at about the same time when we were parked outside a store of some kind to pick up my mom, and some other lady got in the car and just started talking. My very shy dad didn't know how to handle it 🙆‍♂️ You're not my husband! Great memory.

I had an incident just like this with my grandmother/not my grandmother around the time I read this strip in the newspaper. It’s really terrifying to lose your responsible adult under ten.

That's pretty interesting to me! My mom would give my sister and I shopping options, and when I would "lose" mom, I would hunt the aisles, but my sibling would go to the service desk and they would page mom 🙆‍♂️ Mom seemed unfazed but maybe I should ask, if she remembers.
