Calvin and Hobbes explain the crisis of modern capitalism
I've loved Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes ever since I first saw them. Who couldn't love the twin-barrelled satire and sentiment personified by a kid and his cynical tiger, both astonished by the stupidity of modern life? I even spent some of my Philosophy prize at university on some C+H books, pointing to the characters' names and attitudes in my defence.

Magnificent stuff.
Every birthday/Xmas for the past few years I've asked for the complete collection, but alas, alas.
Maybe this December.
I bought the art-paper boxed set. It is wonderful.
