Man was Calvin & Hobbes awesome. IMNSHO every comic strip currently in print still lives in its shadow. C&H had it all - good illustration, good writing, life insight. It was a real life line for weird kids.
- Loughla 2y agoI don't know. The farside is pretty good, as well as Pearls Before Swine. Oh, and Cyanide and Happiness. None of them reach the meta level of social/theological commentary that C&H did, but they're still really, really good on their own, doing their own things.

- belfalas 2y agoAgree. But they're well in second and third compared to Calvin & Hobbes. :) I also think Bloom County deserves to be on the list of all-time greats.
- posterman 2y ago...theological?
- belfalas 2y agoTheological might not have been the best word but there's definitely a lot of spiritual insight offered up in C&H.
- Loughla 2y agoSorry, I tend to put the concept of man's place in the universe into theology; that's the one layover from a very strict Catholic childhood. Lol. Is there a better word for it?
