Most Favorite Calvin and Hobbes strip
masquerade:
It's debateable whether Calvin and Hobbes is a children's comic. It's been said that everyone gets some humor out of the strips, but some of the ideas presented and topics discussed are very adult in nature. Even the loss experienced by Calvin when he loses Hobbes, while understood by the children who have lost their favorite toy, can be experienced on a deeper level by the adults who have lost their best friend, whether through circumstances or through death.
On a more lighthearted note:

Ah, good point. I guess I should have said "normally kid-friendly" or something, but you're right, a lot of what goes on in C & H is really only fully appreciated by adults. Watterson's gift for capturing the kid mentality, and presenting it in a way that adults can totally relate to, is beyond amazing. Kids just think it's funny. Adults remember being like that, or knew someone like that.

He really is a master of his craft. I maintain that Calvin and Hobbes is the best comic ever.
