Calvin & Hobbes is my all-time favorite comic strip.  It ran for about 10 years, ending in 1995.  As a sample of Watterson’s humor, here’s some of the “snowmen” strips.  If you like this type of humor there’s a great deal more in the collected works (i.e. one of Amazon’s offerings) of Calvin and Hobbes, or you can sign up for Gocomics.
