| Calvin and Hobbes
Hey, who else likes it? I know that no matter how bad of a day I'm having, it can always make me smile. 
I also find that the older I get, the funnier it becomes.

| I was banned from reciting Calvin and Hobbes in my house about 5 years ago. That was the beginning of the dark ages.

| I'm rather partial to the writings of Thomas Hobbes, myself. "The universe is corporeal; all that is real is material, and what is not material is not real." Not a particularly Christian attitude, I'll grant you that - so how the guy got involved with that whack-job Calvin and his literalists is beyond me. Must have just been predestination.

| It currently vies with bloom county for the number 2 and 3 spots in my favorite comics of all time. Basically, whichever one I read more recently gets #2.
Rep to the first person who can guess my favorite.

| I have to admit, I'm a fan. My favorite is "For Better or Worse" but Calvin and Hobbes comes pretty close to the top.

| Dilbert. Gots ta be. You're an engineer, RIT_F. (But Boondocks would be a close second as a guess.)

Can't remember the name of the strip it came from.

| You're all wrong, though I do like Dilbert and Doonesbury.
Bloom County is where Opus is orinially from, and that's duking it out with Calvin and Hobbes for #2.
