Most Favorite Calvin and Hobbes strip
tetrakupo:
Lol, I think my favorite one is probably the one when someone called for calvin's dad and he answered the phone. And the guy asked can you take a message? and calvin say's sure hold on. Then he blows up a paper bag and say's "AUGH!! I'VE BEEN SHOT" then hangs up and say's "I hate taking messages.." Sorry for lack of actual comic lol.

My obsession with comics was caused by Bill Watterson. I bought a Calvin and Hobbes book whenever I got any money as a kid. In this past year I've discovered the sheer joy of re-reading old CH books with my adult, wikipedia-addled brain and finally understanding all of the jokes that I didn't get as a kid. I can't think of any strip that comes close to the universal appeal of Calvin and Hobbes, and it rivals Krazy Kat for the title of best newspaper strip ever. Needless to day, I'm having a hard time picking a favorite, though I always loved the ones where Calvin expressed himself creatively through the art of snowmen.
dawalrus:
Calvin's dad says they are having Monkey Brains (stuffed peppers I think) for supper. Mom says "Quit encouraging him!" Definitely a classic.
Orbert:
I'm bummed. That searchable Calvin and Hobbes Database is defunct.
MysticalChicken:
I love this one so much that I've memorized it and I quote it in my head whenever I make hot cocoa:
[Calvin is making cocoa and Hobbes is watching him]
Calvin: The secret to making great hot chocolate is to put the tiny marshmallows in first.
Hobbes: So they melt faster?
Calvin: No, so you can fit in forty or fifty of them. This way the hot chocolate just fills in the cracks.
Hobbes: I wondered why you eat it with a fork.
Calvin: Also, I don't use milk. I just heat the syrup.
And these two, which I must recite in my head when making a peanut butter sandwich:
Calvin [to his mom, who is off-panel]: How's my peanut butter sandwich coming along? You're using chunky peanut butter, right? I won't eat smooth! [next panel] And make it an open-faced sandwich, too! Don't put any jelly on it or anything! And use some normal bread! I don't like those weird grain breads! [next panel] Did you cut it diagonally? I like triangles better than rectangles, so be sure to cut it right!
[Calvin's mom sets the sandwich down in front of him]
Mom: Your majesty's sandwich.
Calvin: HEY! This is a closed-faced, horizontally cut, smooth peanut butter sandwich on weird bread with jelly! Weren't you LISTENING?
[Calvin is looking aghast into a jar of peanut butter]
Calvin: Aaugh! The peanut butter is ruined! [next panel] You're supposed to scoop one half straight down and then dig out the other side from the bottom, so part of the top remains undisturbed until the very end!
Calvin's mom: What on earth for?
Calvin: It's a ritual! You have to keep the top of the peanut butter smooth!
Calvin's mom: Maybe you should make your own sandwiches.
Calvin: If you can't control your peanut butter, you can't expect to control your life. Did you cut the bread diagonally? [I quote the first sentence of that panel ALL THE TIME.]
