    I really wanted to watch that but couldn’t handle the narrator’s cadence.
    If some kind soul is willing, I’d appreciate a too-autistic-didn’t-watch summary.

      I didn’t finish watching it either, but I think the bare bones of it are covered under the Robotman heading of the Monty Wikipedia page

      The United Feature Syndicate “asked Bill Watterson to incorporate the character into Calvin and Hobbes as a condition of syndication, but Watterson refused”

      Edit: fixed, no longer relying on gocomics

Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.

Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as “the last great newspaper comic”,[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, cool stuff about the author, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Calvin and Hobbes!
