They went exploring forever. The last new strip by Ohio's own Bill Watterson.
 
 
Like FDR said when he heard Calvin and Hobbes was ending: "A date which will live in infamy."

My rankings:
#1. Calvin and Hobbes
#2. The Far Side (a very close second)
#3. Bloom County (a distant third...the humor didn't hold up as well as the first two)
 
In my old age, I have come to enjoy Pearls Before Swine along with Arlo and Janis. Still Watterson's work is timeless.

I saved my old comic books and now my first grade son reads them. Big words and very expressive.

We read comic books like crazy when we were kids. We would collect pop bottles from construction sites and take them in for the refund money and buy comic books. Two cents/bottle, I think. Comics were a dime but increased to 12 cents and stayed there for a while. Classics Illustrated were 15 cents. I still have dozens of Classics Illustrateds, some Archies, a bunch of Thors, among others. All are in terrible well-read condition.
