# The Raccoon incident One of the most endearing C&H strips ever, this incident delved upon the manner in which a child?s innocence encounters death for the first time. Look out for the end quote- ??But don?t YOU go anywhere.?

#Calvin on Hunting
Calvin?s take on hunting industry?s rationalization of killing in the name of containment of overtly populated species. And as irony would have it while the likes of Dodo have been wiped off the face of Earth, humans have multiplied like there?s no tomorrow!

# Calvin & Hobbes on Environment
Calvin & Hobbes detested human activities that led to contamination of the environment, be it the pollution, the garbage, and litter thrown around, deforestation etc.
#Calvin & Hobbes on animals
The profound impact that Hobbes had on Calvin is depicted in many strips, Calvin often quoted that he loved being amidst furry friends over and above humans. Here are the dog?s favorite strips highlighting the animal-loving influence that Hobbes has had on Calvin.
Hats off to Mr. Bill Watterson! My childhood would never have been what it was or what it still is sans Calvin & Hobbes. Calvin?s rambunctious character and an intelligence quotient which is clearly superlative for a six-year-old along with Hobbes wisdom made for a great read. Though frequently depicted in the strip as a selfish kid, Calvin does exhibit a deeply caring side for fauna and flora. He often remarks on the pettiness of humans and envies the quiet dignity of animal life.
Quite like Calvin, my human sidekick Calvy (pompously named after the cult child) misses a filter between his brain and mouth
Bill Waterson, the creator of the iconic comic strip, once quipped, ?Hobbes has the patient dignity and common sense of most animals I?ve met. Like Calvin, I often prefer the company of animals to people, and Hobbes is my idea of an ideal friend?.
So, which are your favourite Calvin and Hobbes comic?
