Although it lasted for only ten years (1985-1995), “Calvin and Hobbes” by Bill Watterson was, in my opinion, the greatest comic strip ever produced. The wisdom, the hilarity, the poignancy, the absurdity — that strip had it all.

    There's a Calvin and Hobbes Lemmy community, I think you can follow it from Mastodon by adding
    !calvinandhobbes

    including the ! in your Mastotodon clients search?

    Or create a Lemmy account and browse it from there. For those unaware, Lemmy is part of the Fediverse and is sort of like a replica Reddit, with "communities". Like Mastodon it's a federated across many instances.

    I use the Boost and Jerboa Lemmy clients on Android.

    A great comic. And it stopped before it jumped the shark. But the commentary here is kind of wooden and overexplaining. I hate to say it, but it feels AI.

    Nah, it's the linked site. But I could be wrong, I'm not on my best today. Time to log off...

    @breadandcircuses My nephew was 7 when the column ended. He wrote a letter to the editor of the Hartford Courant asking them to figure out how to keep it. And, on the first morning it didn’t show up, he cried.

    @breadandcircuses To think that Watterson produced that work from 28 to 38 years old, and then essentially retired and vanished, is extraordinary

    @breadandcircuses @nathandh and to create something that captured the popular imagination like that - such a good example of how vital compelling stories and characters are to our humanity and dreams for social change

    I gave my 11 year old the complete set for Christmas last year. He took them into his room and pretty much only came out for food and to say hi. You’d walk past his door for a couple of days and hear him giggling uncontrollably. He just read one after the other until he’d read them all.
