Top Ten Best Things About Calvin and Hobbes

Under the surface of the simple satire, we see Bill really convey a message with this comic.

Its hilarious and heartwarming! Definitely remains some of my favorite books!

Calvin, go do something you hate! Being miserable builds character!

Calvin: Hey...I baked some cookies & had extras...so...here.
Susie: Thanks! I'll be sure to enjoy them!
Calvin: B-but don't get the wrong idea.
Susie: What?
Calvin: I-it's not like I like you, or anything! Baka!
Susie: I never mentioned that. If you want the cookies back, you can have them.'
Calvin: What? No! You already got your fingerprints all over the bag!
Susie: That was rude, but I'll be sure to enjoy them!
Calvin: BAKA! *punches Susie*
Susie: What the hell was that for?! I don't even want the cookies anymore!

Morals? What morals?

"Live and don't learn! That's us! " - Hobbes

Eat your heart out, Snoopy

Sure, Calvin doesn’t seem mature when you are reading the strips, but look at him from a broader perspective. By the end he has learned to respect his peers, friends and family. He never did grow up, and I doubt he ever will, but is that really a bad thing? You can still be mature without being a boring grown-up.
