Me too!

I've had them for years but I still look at them once in a while.

It was really great stuff. Both funny and insightful.

You can have the strips e-mailed to you on a daily basis: http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/

In 1995, Watterson sent a letter via his syndicate to all editors whose newspapers carried his strip. It contained the following:
“ I will be stopping Calvin and Hobbes at the end of the year. This was not a recent or an easy decision, and I leave with some sadness. My interests have shifted however, and I believe I've done what I can do within the constraints of daily deadlines and small panels. I am eager to work at a more thoughtful pace, with fewer artistic compromises. I have not yet decided on future projects, but my relationship with Universal Press Syndicate will continue.

That so many newspapers would carry Calvin and Hobbes is an honor I'll long be proud of, and I've greatly appreciated your support and indulgence over the last decade. Drawing this comic strip has been a privilege and a pleasure, and I thank you for giving me the opportunity.
