Calvin and Hobbes laughing with a blurred comic strip drenched in orange behind them.
There are few comic strips in the history of the medium that are as genuinely hilarious as Calvin and Hobbes. From the masterful way Bill Watterson captures everyday life through the eyes of an imaginative child, to the incredibly smart and witty humor throughout, Calvin and Hobbes is arguably the funniest and all around best comic strip out there.
15 Calvin's Parents Literally Have No Words for His Absurd Antics Calvin and Hobbes - August 4, 1994 Calvin's parents walk into his room one night to find Calvin not asleep, but with a small horn and bongo drums, making all kinds of ruckus. When his parents enter his room, Calvin becomes indignant, asking angrily why he has to have a reason for everything he does.
13 Calvin Decides to Antagonize His Dad for Literally No Reason Calvin and Hobbes - August 8, 1994 One morning when his dad is leaving for work, Calvin decides to start asking him a number of questions meant to antagonize him. Calvin says it's such a nice day out, and asks his dad if he thinks it's too bad that he won't be able to enjoy a nice day like this because of work, and likely won't have the freedom to enjoy days like this until after he retires.
No one remembers anything before they're 3 years old, but since Calvin is only 6, he's more alarmed by this, since he technically is missing memories from half of his life. All-in-all, it's hilariously absurd, and even though Hobbes knows it, he just puts up with Calvin's borderline insanity. As Calvin's mom is cleaning up his mess, she perfectly sums Calvin up with one rhetorical question,"How can kids know so much and still be so dumb?".
8 Calvin Justifies Excessive Soda Intake by Pretending He's a Hummingbird Calvin and Hobbes - August 15, 1994 In a comic strip that highlights the fact that Bill Watterson is a genuinely great artist, Calvin pretends he's a hummingbird, explaining how he needs to drink 'sugar water' to fuel his metabolism. At the same time, Calvin grabs another soda from the fridge, only for one of his parents to yell at him for doing so.
In fact, Calvin's dad even threatens to end story time altogether if Calvin doesn't stop interrupting, at which point, Calvin asks if they can just watch the movie version instead, as it seems his bedtime story snobbery isn't above enjoying film adaptations. 4 Calvin Tries to Trick His Dad into Letting Him Watch R-Rated Movies Calvin and Hobbes - August 22, 1994 Calvin's dad is an attorney, so Calvin learned that if he could present a strong enough argument, he could get away with stuff he otherwise couldn't. However, that's easier said than done, as Calvin actually has to win the argument. In this case, Calvin got his dad to admit that he believes in free expression and is against censorship.
