Calvin Monday 11-18-85

 

This is the first Calvin and Hobbes strip.  It was published on November 18th, 1985.  I didn't discover the strip for a few years, but I found the first collection almost immediately after that.  The art in the current daily was slightly different, and Watterson himself has said he isn't pleased with this original style, but who likes their early work completely?

I am sure glad the strip caught on, and that Calvin continues to sneak out into the public on occasion.  I am not a fan of all the fan-fiction written about an adult Calvin.  Some of it is really well written, but since it is not from the creator...
