Truly one of the best comic strips ever done, sadly it has been discontinued by its artist, Bill Watterson. Not only does the comic bring something of an
amazing vocabulary to a medium usually lacking in that division, but it is also hilariously funny, and often times

The protagonist is Calvin, a six year old that enjoys torturing his teen-aged babysitter, and romping in the woods with his best friend, Hobbes. They have fun by holding
top-secret GROSS meetings in their treehouse, and throwing various assortments of things at Susie, the focus of Calvin's frustration at times.
The side-kick of sorts is Calvin's stuffed tiger, which, at least in his imagination, is a
real tiger that likes tuna fish sandwhiches, and steals his covers in bed. Also loves to have his belly rubbed

car out of the driveway and into the ditch, riding a flimsy wagon off the
edge of a cliff, throwing
ice/snow
balls at
girls)
