Calvin and Hobbes, I miss you.

I remember reading my very first Calvin and Hobbes cartoon in a newspaper while sitting in the waiting room of a Dentist's office. Following my appointment, I just had to show it to my Mother. I started collecting some of the funnier and inspired strips and still have them in a box in my closet.

Calvin and Hobbes wasn't just about jokes and making people laugh. It was about imagination, enjoying life, and seeing the beauty and fun in everything. It was about a 5 year old learning new things from his parents, and teaching them a thing or two in return. It was about friendship and love.

There has been no other piece of cartoon art that has touched me the way Calvin and Hobbes has. I miss those little black and white drawings the way I would miss an old friend.
