> My all-time favorite Calvin & Hobbes strip is one where, in the first frame, Calvin has a bat and a ball. "I am not afraid of this ball," he proclaims. He proceeds to toss the ball in the air, grasping the bat in both hands and perching it over his shoulder in preparation to whack the living daylights out of that ball when it comes back into range. The final frame shows Calvin running, screaming, away from a downcoming ball with FANGS! I knew there was a reason I can't field a ball to save my life.

When the Snow Goons story was in the news paper me and my Dad followed it religiously. When I bought the book I was kind of depressed that they cut some strips, but it is still my all time favortie Calvin story.

My favortie single strip though is the last one, Watson knows how to say goodby. It trully brought a tear to my eye.
