Calvin & Hobbes genuinely shaped my personality and worldview in a way no other media has since.

Is that the one where they believe all the things Calvin's Dad says?

I also own this set, and it's amazing.

Fun fact: it's incredibly heavy!

Looking at the size of these tomes, that would be their hobby for a while.

I have this set, hardcover. It’s huge and extremely heavy.

Calvin and Hobbes were named after the philosophers, so this tracks.

There are definitely some good philosophies debated in those volumes.

Format notwithstanding, there's lots of theology in there!

Not to be confused with Kelvinism. The study of star trek films in the JJ Abrams universe.
