I think I read all of the comics, and I still have many of the compilation books.
Hands down greatest comic of all time.

The good old days.
Holding a calvin and hobbes comic and just reading it reminds me of my childhood.

maaannnn Calvin and Hobbes was the best because it had a childish maturity.... The playfulness and mischieviousness (word?) of Calvin coupled with the maturity of Waterson's writing just makes this comic so relatable, regardless of age. I especially liked the catastrophic trips down a hill in the wagon. Calvin offers some insight into seemingly trivial things before the crash that comes at the end of every strip.
That, and Calvin's snowmen are epic. Quote:
