      If you actually need explanation:

      Sears: think Walmart but without a grocery section LONG before Walmart. Used to be catalogue only. Big box warehouse basically

      K-Mart is cheap, shitty Target, basically. Always felt that way to me, anyway.

      So the joke is that most normal babies come in a kit from the Sears catalogue (or box store) but Calvin was a cheap, Store-Brand deal that’s almost as good for half the price!

        Explain like I’m Calvin is a community like Explain Like I’m Five. Only instead of providing a simple easy to understand explanation, it’s explained in a silly nonsensical (and incorrect) way. Much like how Calvin’s dad often explains things to Calvin.

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

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, cool stuff about the author, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Calvin and Hobbes!
