read Calvin and Hobbes regularly

The times when I’m down and nothing seems to cheer me up are when I bring out Calvin & Hobbes. Even then I can laugh out loud. The best medicine ever.

I’ll continue to self medicate.

My lovely parents got me The Complete Calvin & Hobbes for Christmas.

I have no excuse now. ;)

It is an amazing set on high quality art paper – it weighs a ton.

I’m not at the moment and think that my life would have more laughs if nothing else if I read more Calvin & Hobbes.

This is it

I do want this but am not sure if I can justify it. I have almost all the books at home but am not sure if I have everything that’s in here.

I think it makes me a better parent. Reading Calvin and Hobbes is almost like reading the diary of an especially precocious child. Watterson does a spectacular job of moving in and out of the mind of this young boy. And here’s the thing: I find that when I have read some C&H recently, I tend to be more understanding with my son—I’m better able to see things from his point of view, and I don’t go nuts about things that should be perfectly fine. So, I’m going to make an effort to read them regularly.
