I don't normally even like comics but the one big exception was always C&H. Those giant compendia gave me a couple of the most enjoyable, pants-wettingly funny days of my life. I believe I've read every last one. Peanuts, big old MEH!
I'm glad that I wasn't the only one disappointed that Peanuts made it in before Far Side. I never understood the fascination with that comic, aside from it being a "classic" for some reason.shirkbot said:I can't objectively argue anything regarding Calvin and Hobbs because it was a part of my childhood and I will love it until the day I die. If I had to pick something I can objectively argue, Far Side all the way.madwarper said:Peanuts? Fail.
If you wanted to put up a comic that would have given Calvin and Hobbes a run for its money, should have gone with Far Side.

Really? Really?!?IridRadiant said:The first comics I thought of when I saw the title were Dilbert and Garfield. Both of which I think are better than Peanuts and C&H.
No no no. Please don't form your opinion of Calvin and Hobbes based on those crappy decals. They have absolutely nothing to do with the comic. They were made without the creators consent and go against everything the strip represented.Dominic Crossman said:Never heard of C&H but have seen the pissing on football team shirt thing on back of car,
So from a British POV its gotta be peanuts

I'm British too and I've read them - they're not in any newspapers but the books are readily available. And you should absolutely read them, they are a masterpiece. Other comics may have better gags (I love Dilbert) and even better art (Far Side) but C&H goes to the depth of the human soul.Dominic Crossman said:Never heard of C&H but have seen the pissing on football team shirt thing on back of car,

Garfield one of the worst national comics. Seriously. 90% of the strips amount to "Garfield is fat and/or angry! Now that's comedy gold!" Their is no strip that comes anywhere close to Calvin and Hobbes.IridRadiant said:The first comics I thought of when I saw the title were Dilbert and Garfield.

Oh, right. I guess my analogy is tangential, in some ways.Flatfrog said:Calvin and Hobbes is high art. Peanuts is minimalist art. They are both genius in their own way.
Sorry if didn't make myself clear but I know nothing about c&h and didnt even realise the decal/picture was anything to do with it until this video was made. I'm not judging it by that, but rather not at all as I habe no basis off which I can honestly jugde it one way or another.bluepotatosack said:No no no.
