    So Calvin was 6 in 1985 when this comic started, that means he would be 46 years old. I wonder what he would be up to now.

        Awww, that’s very sweet. Although the last panel does slightly break the rules :-)

      Calvin was 6 in 1985 when this comic started

      Calvin was also 6 in 1995 when this comic ended. There’s nothing to indicate that he wouldn’t still be 6.

        The year 2000 was a century leap-year, therefor Calvin could be 7 now. That would also imply he’s at least 2400 years old by our normal timekeeping.

          Wait, why? Does Calvin age only on leap days or something?

            Not Calvin specifically, but pretty much all cartoon characters age really slowly, if at all. And since a leap-century only happens once every 400 years, it seemed appropriate enough to match their apparent immortality.

Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.

Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as “the last great newspaper comic”,[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes
