There are Calvin and Hobbes' adicts, but i am not one of them - i love the comic strip but i probably wouldn't go out of my way to collect it .
Here is a bit of C&H - a daily comic strip written and illustrated by
Bill Watterson, following the humorous antics of
Calvin, an imaginative six-year old boy, and
Hobbes, his energetic and sardonic—albeit stuffed—tiger. The strip was syndicated from November 18, 1985 to December
31, 1995. (

Some Trivia about C&H
1) Thomas Hobbes. Hobbes was named after the 17th century philosopher, Thomas Hobbes. Watterson has stated this in interviews and in the prologue to one of the "Calvin and Hobbes" books.Bill Watterson named this character after Thomas Hobbes because Hobbes had a very dim view of human nature.
2) Calvin was named after - a sixteenth-century theologian. John Calvin was born in 1509 and died in 1564. He is mostly known for his belief in predestination.
3) Bill Waterson's theme of Calvin's father making Calvin suffer in order to "build character" came from his own father.
4) Watterson's cat Sprite very much inspired the personality and physical features of Hobbes.
