Is Calvin and Hobbes really that good, or do most comic strips suck, so it just looks better by comparison?

Way ahead of its time. Even the author wont let mainstream media take advantage of it. I love Bill Waterson so much.

top 3, for sure. the relatively short run was probably both a feature and a bug.

They're mostly coloring books on tape. I don't even know how that works...

A lot of the strips are actually MORE relevant today than they were when they were first written, like the one where Calvin says that he knows more about the private lives of celebrities than he does about any government policy that will actually affect him.

I have childhood nostalgia for the comic but its actually incredibly deep at times too.

Like I always remember a few of them cause of how powerful the message was. Like Hobbes has the quote of If people could put rainbows in zoos they would do it..

I still remember one of my favs. Calvin and a girl are sitting in school getting their tests back:

Girl: Calvin, what grade did you get on your test? I got an A.
Calvin: Really? I feel sorry for you. I got a C.
Girl: Why on Earth would you rather get a C than an A?
Calvin: I find my life is a lot easier the lower I keep everyone's expectations.

I've been reading it to my kids recently and it definitely holds up.
Though we also end up having a lot of discussions about the negative effects of reinforcing gender stereotypes.

Calvin, go do something you hate. Being miserable builds character.

Also...Spaceman Spiff is so damn great

The wrong type of character though.

I still remember the day the final Stip was Released.
Such a beautiful ending.

It was actually a topic of discussion back then.
