Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.
Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as "the last great newspaper comic",[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

Yup :D
I'm in this boat, too.
Thanks for your work
Having forgotten stashes is the sign of a true data hoarder
Thanks for the daily strips. I enjoy them!
I did a full rip to prepare for this eventuality and forgot
Are you me?
I wonder if this is the same issue as the email comic list I get every day.
Been out of commission the last few days. I do have a GoComic page, but, the email is so much nicer.
Thanks for keeping it going!
I gave up on my own comics page because of this. Just got tired of chasing comics.com.
Thanks for your hard work keeping this going!
I don't like this. If Watterson wanted to release it under a permissive license, he would. We're not entitled to consume it any way we please just because we enjoyed it when we were kids. Maybe it's indeed time to take the hint.
I don't know how closely you've been following the enshittification of GoComics...
But they have aquired the digital distribution rights of a bunch of older comic strips, and have been tightening the screws for years.
This isn't coming from Watterson. GoComics has been slowly cutting away at any other ways to read these classics in order to make a monthly subscription the only way to access them.
If you want to support Watterson, buy physical print.
