We were lucky to have early access to Calvin and Hobbes through the Burlington Free Press, so fell in love with it right away.
Thanks to editors there for an insightful choice!

Many thanks to Bill Watterson: you are absolutely brilliant and will be loved for your work as long as some of us are able to read!

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.
