7 Funny ‘Calvin and Hobbes’ Comics About Halloween
Given that he’s one of the most beloved troublemakers in the history of comics, you’d think that Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes would make a big deal about Halloween and trick-or-treating. And yet, cartoonist Bill Watterson only dedicated a total of seven strips to the subject during the comic’s 10-year run.
So cherish them like you’d cherish those full-size candy bars you’d get when you were trick-or-treating at Calvin’s age.

Calvin’s costume selection is as creative as his infamous snowman sculptures.

Calvin isn’t a kid I’d trust with a knife, but things were different in the ‘80s.

Calvin’s dad is low-key the funniest character in the strip, including here.
Candy Hangovers…
Milk Duds are the worst candy.

This is from April of 1987. Just think about how old that candy is by then.

I would totally rock Calvin’s costume in this one.
