The end of Calvin & Hobbes

Well, everything has to come to an end.
Nothing is eternal except probably The Simpsons. But to know one of my all-time favourite comic-strip is coming to an end is just too sad to take it.

Yes ladies & gentlemens, Bill Watterson the creator of Calvin & Hobbes have put an end to his evercharming Calvin and his imaginary pet tiger Hobbes. Those witty liners about life from the prespective of a young boy is going to come to an end. (http://www.slate.com/id/2129373/?GT1=7407)

This is the only other comic strip apart from The Dilbert that I really enjoyed. I like The Garfield for its legendary status but its not as witty and as real-life related as Dilbert or Calvin.

The way Calvin looks at bed time as something like a jail term, his bathing as some sort fo torture and homework as something that limits his creativity simply amazes me. Bill Watterson's english and drawings are equally engaging, simple and stuck to a point.

I just gonna miss this strip. Although I believe local newspaper gonna re-circulate the same old strips again and again but the fun and its distance relativity with current issue will be wider day by day!

God, please reserve a seat for Calvin in your kingdom of heaven. Hobbes just a pet so Calvin will be holding on to it and wreck a havoc in your heaven soon.

Rest in Peace Calvin (& Hobbes). Amen.
