Happy Gotcha Day, Kaida!

She has been with us now for five years, which is hard to believe.  She still loves watching her squirrels!

Villain of the Week- Darius Dax

Calvin and Hobbes Monday 02-25-1986

 

I wonder what music Hobbes likes to listen to.  That might have been a fun run of strips.

862. The Generic Genesis II review! 1973

Well, I forgot to post this earlier.  Go figure.  It is an interesting failure, and I can see why a second pilot was made.
