I love "Calvin and Hobbes." It so captures a child's imagination. Not only was it loaded with fantastic insights, it was well drawn and damn funny. It was heartbreaking when Bill Watterson retired the strip in 1995. All I was left with was syndicated repeats in the daily comics, and dog-earred and tattered copies of well-read "C and H" collections like "Something under the bed is drooling." and "Weirdos from another planet."

No longer. They've finally made a complete anthology collection and it is gorgeous. And it's fucking heavy!!! I picked it up at B&N and carrying it back to the office, I nearly ripped my arms out of their sockets. Now, it's sitting next to my desk and I'm loathe to think how I'm getting it home, maybe one day when I drive in.
