Favourite Calvin & Hobbes strip

I probably can't pick just one - I bought the complete collection last year and it was an absolute joy to read. My shortlist would include:

• all the Calvinball strips ("No sport is less organised than calvinball! OK, so the score is Q to 12")
• the perspective-less strip
• the entire Duplicator story ("oK fine, so we didn't learn any big lesson. Sue me." "Live and don't learn, that's us")
• "Who ees this Kalveen?"
• Stupendous Man, Spaceman Spiff and Tracer Bullitt

I should probably stop now or I'll just end up posting an index of every strip Watterson did.

The snowmen union protest one was genius The boxset is really nice, I got it for £85 last year and it's worth it, though I imagine it's probably going for a lot more in Ireland (as usual!). (Play and Amazon UK have it for just shy of €100, which is reasonable for what you get if you can sort out delivery).

Also, your sig has reminded me of one strip involving the line "I hate it when I can't gird my loinds with funny animals". Also, the Picasso "Nude descending a staircase" one is great.

Heh, I just remembered: Tyrannosaurs in F-16s! "This is so cool!" "This is so stupid!"

Hah, that's a great one! Also, I found another excellent one there:

Scientific progress goes "boink"?

(I had to change your embedded image to a link, the site has disabled hotlinking - I imagine because their bandwidth costs would be astronomical otherwise...)

Heh, he's so adorable as a tiger!

I've just remembered another good one:

"This is the story of the hydraulic pump (Fig. 1), the wheel shaft flange (Fig. 2), and the evil patent infringement."

"I want a good story."
