Calvin and Hobbes®: Gone but not forgotten!
I once read a comic strip called Calvin and Hobbes. But then one day,
its creator, Bill Watterson, decided that he was ready to stop writing
it. }sigh{ Here is my link to a Calvin and Hobbes Tribute Page.
Always keep Calvin and Hobbes alive in your heart!

Mark's Thoughts on Calvin and Hobbes:
On November 15, 1985, I picked up my family's copy of the Minneapolis
Star and Tribune. Skipping the frontpage (dumb), the metro-state
(who cares about the forecast), the sports (the Twins were terrible
anyway), I skipped straight to the Variety section and the comics page.
My second-grade eyes looked at the top of the page, looking for Garfield
and Snoopy. Snoopy was there, but instead of Garfield was a new strip
about a smartalecky kid my age and a wierd tiger. I was hooked. As
I grew up, so did the strip, for me anyway. It's sometimes amazing to
read a strip you thought you knew when you were much younger and see
how its world means a whole different thing for you now that you're
grown up. Calvin and Hobbes ended on January 1, 1996. As I read that
final strip, a sense of melancholy settled about me, as my comfortable,
familiar world was in the process of being replaced with the life of
a soon-to-be college student. It's true what they say: There are no
endings, only new beginnings. Calvin and Hobbes will always live as
long as there are people who are willing to let themselves be lost in
the moment, as a kid and his tiger went out to walk in the world. So
long, Calvin. So long, Hobbes. You will be missed from our comics
pages, but you will remain with us.
