Here are the longest Calvin and Hobbes stories.
Summary Calvin and Hobbes was best known for its daily musings on life and its look inside the mind of a 6-year-old with an overactive imagination. While some weeks would focus around a particular theme or setting, for the most part, each day’s strips were standalone works of art. However, throughout the course of the strip’s 10-year run, creator Bill Watterson did occasionally experiment with longer story arcs.
The 1990 Calvin and Hobbes collection, Weirdos from Another Planet! , gets its title and cover art from this storyline. After weeks of waiting and imagining how the beanie will let him fly around the world, Calvin finally gets his beanie. But, of course, there is some assembly required. Calvin snaps a piece while he’s building it and blames Hobbes, even though the tiger didn’t do anything. Calvin’s dad manages to fix the broken piece of plastic, and they finish assembling it. However, there’s more disappointment in store for Calvin, as the propeller just spins around and doesn’t make him fly.
