It really is.

I was assigned, and read, Canticle for Liebowitz.

Never knew the author did such a thing. The anecdote you relate makes me see him as an ultimate Richard. What a horrible hateful thing to do to people.

“...considered by many to be the single greatest comic strip ...”

Well, there is this one some people have heard of called Peanuts.

Just saying.

Thanks. That's long been one of my bookmarked FReep articles.

The snowmen are awesome.

My kids are too young to remember Calvin & Hobbs so I've bought all the books and read them with them at bedtime.

I've also got my dad's Herman compilations, he requested them when he was in the hospital before he died.

Thanks for posting this. We are huge fans of both strips.

Calvin and Hobbes best comic street ever published. True genius.

[Norm Lenhart]

Definitely one of the best. I would have loved to have seen his take on this admin. But I guess BC was a product of it’s time. But oh what a time ;)

[RingerSIX]

I've always been a Mr. Boffo fan.

Walter Miller became a troubled man as he got older. He abandoned Christianity and embraced eastern philosophies. By his end he seemed to be very bitter if the letters he wrote are anything to go by. I think his mind was ravaged by depression. Tragic story.
