I've never read any Calvin and Hobbes, is there a resource to read the comics in the most sensible way or should I just try to read them in chronological order?

- nemo44x 4y agoBuy an anthology book and just read it from the beginning. There’s no “bad season” and he stopped it well before it was showing signs of going off. For me it’s hard to give a critical review since reading the strip every day in the newspaper is both nostalgic and sentimental as my dad and I both loved it. And then it was gone and that was that.
- JJMcJ 4y agoSimilar to The Far Side. Also Peanuts. Charles Schultz died overnight just before the final Sunday strip. He'd been in failing health and had drawn the final strips a month or two before his death. Garry Trudeau, who does Doonesbury, has drawn some flak over the years because he doesn't throw himself into the full publicity grind.
- psyc 4y agoGet an anthology. Someone got me one for Christmas in 9th grade. By the time I finished high school I owned all of them. I don't keep much physical stuff around, but I still have those.

- brk 4y agoIMO you can read them in pretty much any order and get 90% of it. Most of them were self-contained. In same cases there are occasional characters, like Susie, and Calvin's perspective of her changes over time, but you can read any strip with Susie in it and probably get the message even without knowing her history in the strip.
