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

That’s just bringing the cost down, the amount of donation requests and catalogs my 70-80 y/o parents receive on a weekly basis is astounding.
And my dad has been dead for 10 years and still getting tons.
Like at least 5+ pounds of mailers a week, most with those fucking annoying little envelope windows. Around thanksgiving it doubles or triples in weight with the extra catalogs, and crazy shit like dream catchers, (garbage) work gloves & plastic shopping bags, calendars, note pads, address labels, calendars, notepads (I can’t emphasize enough how many there are).
A $20 donation from a few people can’t possibly result in more than $1-2 making to people in need.
