I like the archaeology and geology ones, and the one where he put the end of a roll of toilet paper in the toilet and flushed it.

Verbing weirds language:

My brother's name is Calvin. I can verify that the antics seen in the comic strip are taken directly from real life - and I didn't even know him as a small child! This one is his favorite:

I can't find it but it was a Sunday one...the last panel was something along the lines of "life is less scary when you've got a best friend." I cut it out, but heaven knows where it is.

Found this while in search for another:

It won't copy, dear 33, but you can print it out here (it's the third down):

"Things are never quite as scary when you've got a best friend."

AND HERE:

Much as I love Calvin and Hobbes, I hear that Bill Watterson isn't a happy camper when his comics are posted without credit. So, thank you, Mr. Watterson, for letting us tell you how much we love your productions.

I love all of Calvin's demented snowman creations. Especially the mutant snow goons!

If you haven't been to Pittsburgh, you really don't know how much it's changed since its "Smoky City" reputation. It's almost always one of the top ten places to live because of its variety of things to do, education, comparatively low housing and other "quality of life" factors. It's easy to knock that which you don't know.

I did my Master's at Pitt in '06-'08. I really loved Pittsburgh and was sad to move on, and I still miss it quite a bit. I met live-in there (also a Pitt student, at the time). It's not an issue of knocking the city, I just love that particular strip.

Maybe if it were written today it'd be Detroit.

I love so many Calvin and Hobbes I don't think I can pick one. Or twelve.

Agreed. I have no way to pick only one, but this is one of my many favorites:

May the Cosmos bless Bill Watterson for sharing Calvin and Hobbes with us!

We have several of the C&H bathtime strips enlarged and hanging on our kids' bathroom walls -- Back and Forth, Back and Forth, ... TIDAL WAVE!! (Beats me, Mom, maybe there's a leak in the faucet.) I think my faves are anything involving Spaceman Spiff, discussion of Dad's standing in "the polls", Rosalind (sp?) the evil babysitter, Calvin's haircut by Hobbes, or the snowmen. Sometimes we have to put the C&H books away, though, because my little guys start channeling him; he's a fine cartoon character, but I wouldn't and don't want to be his mom!
