Calvin and Hobbes... one of the best cartoons to ever exist... even Charles Schultz, creator of Peanuts, was a fan...
This comic, about the adventures of a strangely learned (which is not always the same as wise or intelligent) little boy called Calvin, and his tiger, Hobbes, was by turns witty and insightful. In one comic, Calvin would be driving his babysitter Rosalyn mad while pretending to be a superhero, in the next, he would be musing on the meaning of life.
Bill Watterson, it's creator, was regarded as a bit of a loose cannon by the comics syndicate he worked for. He spent a lot of his non-comics-drawing-time arguing that newspaper editors should set aside more room in their papers for the funnies. He eventually suceeded, to a degree, gaining the right to design his own format for his comics.
I'd personally rate this strip five out of five stars.
Well? What do you think? Feel free to quote. This comic, sadly no longer in production, meant a lot to a lot of people.
