This thread has taken a weird "Lord of the Flies" turn.

Bonus:

I'd just like to publicly announce that Calvin and Hobbes and the 1986 sequel to Alien are the most infallibly NOT CRAP things I can think of.

I am so glad that they exist.

One of my favorite things about the holidays is heading back home to my parents' house and going through lots of old books and things I used to have from when I was a kid. This inevitably leads to me reading old Calvin & Hobbes books for 2 or 3 hours before finally dozing off to sleep.

It's a very pleasant and comforting thing.

oh, i love this strip.

(Not racist, BTW.)

Ten points for Heliotropic.

I read every single C&H comic at least 3x

I think its the perfect strip for people in their late teens or early 20s getting nostalgic for childhood.

It was especially touching to me because I grew up w/ a dog friend and we'd go sledding and such all the time.
