Calvin and Hobbes was how I learned to read.
My favorite strip is all of them. So here are some random ones.

My favorite part of Calvin and Hobbes was Bill Watterson's commitment to comics as a viable art form - even when he had to churn them out day after day, he was determined to do more than just setup-punchline jokes and build a fortune for himself.

Of all the battles that he had with his syndicate, what interests me most is how hard he fought to have the Sunday strips be as an image - It can be shrunk, but not shuffled around (Most comics now have a "throwaway gag in the first third of the strip on Sundays. Some newspapers run the throwaway, some don't). The result of his hard work can be seen in the strips that I've pasted here.

Calvin and Hobbes was completely alone in the newspapers doing what it was. The fact that this kind of invention lived alongside Beetle Bailey and Family Circus just makes a great achievement once-in-probably-ever.
