I used to love Calvin and Hobbes so much and still miss it. The humans look different but Hobbes looks the same!

I laughed until the tears rolled...even when I'd seen them several times. In fact, I tried to buy a Calvin & Hobbes Snowman toon book at the local book store, but the owner wasn't sure if there was one. He'd tried to order some, last year, but they weren't listed. Anyone know if they are available? I need one for a gift.

Is this a regular new comic, or just a special thing Bill Watterson is doing?

Bill Watterson stopped drawing "Calvin and Hobbes" in late 1995. Everybody noticed.

Dan and Tom Heyerman stopped drawing "Pants are Overrated" late in 2011. I noticed.

The Heyermans' online comic strip was about two brothers who know much too much about each other (not surprising, since Dan and Tom are in fact, brothers), who get comfortable by throwing off their office clothes — especially pants — and spend time having wonderfully meaningless, insignificant adventures.
