Thank you
Calvin and Hobbes was the greatest comic strip to ever have graced the newspaper pages. Many younger viewers here might not have been born early enough to remember him before he retired in 1995, all the more reason to thank the author of this flash.
Interesting fact: Calvin and Hobbes was just as popular as Garfield, so why isn't there C&H coffee mugs, calenders, cereals, etc? The author, Bill Watterson, refused to license Calvin and Hobbes on principal, since he believed that big industry would corrupt his characters. In the process, he turned down an estimated $50 million in royalties that he would have earned over the years. To this day, all Calvin and Hobbes merchandise other than the books are pirated.
