- Error601, on 10/10/2007, -3/+95That's one serious copyright violation.
- nihility, on 10/10/2007, -4/+92The greatest comic strip of all time, and Watterson never sold out to merchandising. He also quit while he was ahead, some other comics should follow that lead (cough Jim Davis 10 years ago cough).
- rhabd0mancer, on 10/10/2007, -3/+54Here is the collection in convenient book form:
http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Calvin-Hobbes/dp/0740748475 - tehbored, on 10/10/2007, -2/+53Goodbye productivity!
- giveer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+44As much as I'm not an Internet do-good cop, Bill Waterson worked hard to not be over taken by Corporate buy-outs and money grabbing *****.. if anyone deserves to have his work actually PURCHASED.. it's him. This site pisses me off a little bit.
- EasyThereKiller, on 10/10/2007, -1/+41Ive reread these every few years since I was a kid. Its rare something can touch you so differently at each stage of your life.
- lukas88, on 10/10/2007, -1/+40G.R.O.S.S meeting in session!
- h4mx0r, on 10/10/2007, -1/+28Fact: Calvin and Hobbes was the first newspaper comic strip to use the word "Booger". It got Calvin and Hobbes booted off several newspapers!
Calvin and Hobbes = win. - GoNoles, on 10/10/2007, -1/+27So tempting to download...but so wrong. Can we say "huge copyright violation?" I mean, downloading a genius cartoonist's masterful lifetime creation? Better to buy it: http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Calvin-Hobbes/dp/0740748475
- jennamalia, on 10/10/2007, -2/+26Agreed. Here's is the legal option:
http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Calvin-Hobbes/dp/0740748475/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-6979448-6863011?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1187496403&sr=8-1
...of course, your local library may also have the collection, if you're not up to buying the The Complete Calvin & Hobbes boxed set.
Watch my pro-copyright statement get me dugg down in a twisted "You must be pro-RIAA, too" type of hysteria. - bitcloud, on 10/10/2007, -6/+29were you born under a rock!
you're in for a treat dave! - buyingastairway, on 10/10/2007, -3/+26I was a Christian once, a long time ago... then I read a few Calvin and Hobbes comics and now I love Satan and I eat babies.
- Gryffydd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20I think that anybody who likes his work enough should buy it (I did)--his work certainly deserves to be rewarded. Who knows though...this copyright violation might just drum up some sales. Reading them on a computer just isn't the same. I look forward to sitting with my kids and the books and sharing with them something from my childhood. In more than one way, I was *exactly* like Calvin as a child.
- zakaf, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17The very last C&H has always been a sort of inspiration for me-- I clipped it from the Sunday paper way back then, and it's been on my wall ever since. Thanks for this link. C&H and "The Far Side" will live on.....
- cam2009, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16Come on. I'm always the guy standing up for torrents and p2p, but come on, give Bill some respect. You might not be able to get the feeling of opening up a newspaper and reading it every day, but at least get the experience of turning the pages and supporting a true genius. He's very much against the exploiting of his art (Calvin peeing decals), and I'm sure he wouldn't like this much more. I liked the searchable archive from a little back since it was for reference, and you were still discovering them on your own, but I don't see any advantage to this except blatant theft of his work. The box sets for this are amazing, everyone should own them.
- WayneOfSpades, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15Calvin's snowmen are my personal favorite. Crack me up every time.
- E13375T, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Best comic strip ever conceived, I bought the complete collection a couple years ago when it was released in those 3 giant books. It serves as a refreshing reminder of my childhood.
- acomj, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12I agree. Berke Breathed of Bloom County fame wrote about how he thought it was amazing Watterson never sold out (Opus stuffed animals everywhere)..
However, he did sell the rights really cheap so my brother could put the comics in his yearbook (each student got a partial page to do with what they wished).
I though that was really cool. - TheNik, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Today's internet comics, while funny, have nothing on Calvin and Hobbes.
Much love for this comic. It and I have some good memories. :") - bitcloud, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12you're kidding me right? Were you dropped as a child?
- AriaStar, on 10/10/2007, -5/+15Where the hell have you been that you haven't heard of Calvin and Hobbes?
- kevinmotel, on 10/10/2007, -3/+13well he is from the UK, i assume C&H was not as big across the pond.
- bitcloud, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10just let us enjoy our moment of peace with calvin and hobbes...
- Fantom, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8The files are hosted by Ucomics. Check the image properties. It's not a copyright violation - Ucomics have permission to host these images. Bill is fine with it.
You can access the whole collection at their site (http://www.ucomics.com/calvinandhobbes). All this guy has done is written a script to access the images with an easier menu via his website instead. - Shneebly, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7spaceman spiff!!
- Dantetheinferno, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8I'm only 16, and i've read probably every single one of these.
My mother used to read these to me, it was great. If you want to give your child a comic, give them this one. There's a collection with all of these in print. - Neiby, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I just read a bunch of these starting with the oldest ones and I remember every one. I think I used to have them in a book. Calvin and Hobbes is a true classic.
- jatkins679, on 10/10/2007, -5/+10Goddamn right, that jerk has NO business putting it out there on the Web.
I downloaded them all anyway. - Aceanuu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I have this, and I must say, its worth every cent... of course I also own all the books (except one or two) and all the collections... so its a bit unneccessary, but then most amazing things are....
- Jrwhite8, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7That's not cool. Bill Watterson held his strip to a high level of integrity, never selling out for merchandising (which he could've made millions on). Every Calvin t-shirt, sticker you see on a car's window, or other piece of merchandise are all bootleg and go against the wishes of its creator. This site further cuts into the legitimate quality reproductions in the book collections, which are the only products that are actually supported by its creator.
- Puppetfunk, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5eh. I already bought that hardback collection that came out a while ago. Three huge books with all the strips.
- tekmonkey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Funny. I posted a link to a C&H archive I had online about a year ago and the digg moderators removed it after it had been on the front page for a few minutes. Seems they've gotten a bit lax about copyright infringing links. =]
- r0b0, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5This definately isn't complete. I checked this, with my books (one of which includes dates of every comic) and its definately missing a bunch. Still a pretty good archive though.
- scubasteve377, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Naturally.
- bitcloud, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5Digg's broken so I can't reply to the correct message:
Leonarde: Noone mock's god.. least of all waterson...
He, like many others, has a greater understanding of god... he realises that trying to fit "god" into a single word, or a single book, or a single church, or a single religion is silly, futile and undermines the very beauty of life.
waterson has helped to sow this beauty back into the world in which we all live. Ask yourself what you sow... - nailPuppy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I used to host an archive of this on my website until I got a cease & desist. Good luck keeping your site up now that it is on Digg.
- Wizardtb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Please support the author... cartoonists barely make anything as it is- they are the last people on earth who should be targetted by pirates. Bury this entry.
- Yoshi39, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Actually you need to include no-parent so it won't mirror the whole site so the command is
wget -r -k -np http://www.marcellosendos.ch/comics/ch/ - noumuon, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&q=define%3Airony&btnG=Google+Search because you look like you need help.
- wiihuck, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4are these like ROMs, where if I already have all the books, this isn't illegal? or is it still illegal?
- ayanamisama, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Totally rad. Calvin and Hobbes was always my favorite comic, but I've never had the money to buy the big anthologies. This made my night!
- GawtMilk, on 11/02/2007, -2/+3"And then in the next frame, Calvin says..."
- drivers99, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1The resolution is horrible. They look like they've been downsampled both in resolution and and bits per pixel. Jaggies and dithering oh my.
- melat0nin, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2We have it here, but it's not as big as in the US. I'm currently rereading The Indispensible C&H.. gets better every time
- theholycow, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2That would be great if it wasn't down.
- jlgosse, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Except it ISN'T. DO click the link.
- iJessicaRabbit, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3ha! I seriously think Leonarde has mental problems! Is it wrong that I find that funny?
- DestroyPoseurs, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2After reading the 14th one down in December of 85 when I was a kid I spent the rest of my childhood fantasizing about doing that. Never had the balls to unfortunately.
- bsankr, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Actually, I don't believe Garfield was ever funny. Sort of like Hagar The Horrible. And Family Circus.... I used to think that was pretty good, but I don't know if I just grew up or if it always sucked.
- tweehopper, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2I can never not get a little teary eyed reading the last strip ever made.
