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

I suppose because there wasn't a February 29th in 1987?

Won't this mean we leap over the 1988 Feb 29th comic?

OP could post it on Feb 28th so there would be two that day.

Leap year moment

Well you know what you've gotta do now, OP. Fast forward these comics to align with the leap years so this doesn't happen again. I mean, what are you gonna do next year? 1988 was a leap year, so what will you do on Feb. 28 2025?

You've gotta post 2 comics a day for the next year so that Feb. 28, 2025 aligns with Feb. 28, 1989. Then you'll be good!

(I'm only kidding, of course. You do what works best for you.)

LOL I was trying to think of something to do for leap year. Alas, I took the easy way out.
