For those who don't have any Calvin & Hobbes yet and think of getting the all books: there's a Complete Slipcase Edition with three volumes:
On a sidenote: I find it amazing that Bill Watterson never waivered in his position to not allow merchandise products of C&H. True art in all its consequences.

What does it say about us here at SimHQ that so many of us love this particular comic? That we have alive and vivid imaginations and are eager to use them? Or that Bill Watterson was a genius?
