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

I've got eight slugs in me. One's lead and the rest are bourbon.

Damn, that's a good line.

The tracer bullet saga is full of bangers like that

This is ART.

Thank you, Mr. Watterson. The world would LOVE more of this if you're ever inclined.

I like that the implication is that he just randomly shot out the window

He took a bullet too, I think the implication is that someone attacked him and Tracer returned fire. (Realistically, I think it's just a string of tropes and not meant to be a coherent narrative)

I thought he'd gotten shot in the past but it healed with the bullet still in him

I love that this mixes two different styles of drawing in one comic. Waterson is such a great artist!

It takes a real artist to successfully romanticize being broke and in debt.

Ooh, a Tracer Bullet story!
