[No Longer A Libertine]

On this day in history back in 1985 the iconic comic strip Calvin & Hobbes by Bill Watterson made its funny pages debut.

Wow... has it been that long...

The last Calvin and Hobbes comic...

(I know it is made up, but this was a better ending than the one Bill came up with).

Excellent comic strip. Enjoyed it in its day.

I loved his Snowmen House of Horrors.

I really liked that comic strip -- first started reading it in the Boston paper at L'bri. I also really liked the original Bloom County, but not many of the later reinventions.

A while back I bought the "complete Calvin and Hobbes" so my nearly 2 year old (aptly named Calvin) can enjoy them when he's older.

You can copy copyrighted material so long as it's a "fair use". I don't have my Restatement with me right now though so I can't give you an answer past that at the moment.
