Anyone else completely identify with the series?

To me, Calvin must the be fictional character I most find myself being alike. Not only that, the strips and stories are meaningful and fascinating.

I fell in love with the Calvin and Hobbs strips from the earliest time I saw them. It was a very sad day for me when Mr. Waterson stopped drawing them.

I LOVE Calvin and Hobbes! I remember standing in the bookstore aisle as a kid, reading them, and just cracking up. My roommates used to enjoy watching me read the C&H books because apparently it was very amusing to watch. I definitely identify with Calvin.

I love "Calvin & Hobbes", both the drawing style (aesthetic/visual) and the dialogue (text, words, ideas, language). It's wonderful & clever, according to me (my boyfriend likes it, too).

I like them, my favorite comic (not including graphic novels such as Death Note), I have a ton of their collections, my favorite is "attack of the deranged killer mutant monster snow goons!" I might have got the words out of order, sorry, been a while since I read it.

I love it. My fave strip is a very very simple one. As usual they are in the backyard, digging, and Calvin finds something like a bottle, a couple of rocks, and in the third panel he exclaims "everywhere is a treasure!" (or something similar in english).

This little tacker and his stuffed toy always cheer me up.

I like the ones with the awful, deranged, psychopathic snowmen he makes along the footpath.
And how Miss Wormwood is always an ugly slimy alien monster in his class-room daydreams.
oh, oh,...and the faces he always makes when he gets his photo taken.

my knee-high hero!

The last page of "It's a magical world" always used to put a huge smile on my face. Nowadays anything to do with Christmas or snow just manages to depress me.
