It’s a shame we didn’t get this series in Australia, I could see it being really helpful for families as this is a good parenting over the yelling strip.
What? Calvin and Hobbes was in the paper every weekend. I used to cut them out and stick them on my wall.
Oh, never saw it in any papers growing up here.
Did see lots of that bored teen dude comic though.
I’m thinking possibly that comic was Zits?
Had to have been. No clue what else it would be.
I haven’t managed to read the newspaper in a few years, so I thought maybe there could be a copy cat now! But it’s probably Zits. I liked that comic!
I don’t remember if my parents got the Sun-Herald or the Sunday Telegraph. But the middle section was a liftout with cartoons, puzzles, kids stuff.
There were three comics that were always there: Calvin and Hobbes, Flash Gordon, Wizard of Id. At some point they introduced Cathy which was a bit lame.
It also had the crossword, a quiz, and usually some “learn to draw” or arts and crafts suggestions. For a while there was a little section with people selling Sega games, it didn’t last long but that’s how I got my copy of Double Dragon 3.
Very rarely the local shop ran out and dad had to get the competing paper. It would instead have The Phantom and Garfield. Always disappointing if it happened.
If Calvin imagines Hobbes and Hobbes wants to look at babes, then Calvin definitely watches too much TV.
However, it’s also been seen that the only babes Hobbes is interested in is of the feline variety. So that might just be Calvin knowing a bit about the circle of life.

“And whiskers! Long whiskers!”
Good bot.
Hobbs is a pervert
